Maria Quitéria: Brazil's Independency hero

Hi! Call me Lon, I am brazilian and this is the third time I am writing this so I hope this ends up good! We celebrated my state Bahia independency on July 2 so I thought about talking one of our independency heroes! Maria Quitéria is one of the biggest heroes on our independency and she is a role model for woman until today! She commended a woman army and bravely defended Bahia from portuguese troops! So no more delays, let’s get to know her history!

Maria Quitéria de Jesus was born on July 27, 1972 in Feira de Santana, Bahia. When she was 10, she lost her mother and became responsible for taking care of her sisters. Her step-mother didn’t like her independent attitude so they never had a good relationship.

Maria didn’t go to school. Instead, she learned how to mount, how to handle guns and to hunt. When the “Conselho Interino do Governo da Bahia” (something like Bahia’s government temporary counsel) went to her father’s farm searching for sponsorship or volunteers, she wanted to enlist but her father prohibited. So, with the help of her sister Tereza Maria and her brother-in-law José Cordeiro de Medeiros, Maria cut her hair and went to enlist on “Voluntários do Principe Dom Pedro” (Prince Dom Pedro’s volunteers) dressed with a masculine uniform and with the name of Soldier Medeiros.

Two weeks later, her father found her battalion and told the major José Antônio da Silva Castro that Maria was a woman! But the major refused to let her go because she was already recognized for her discipline and her facility with guns. Maria then changed her masculine uniform for a skirt and started using her real name in battle.

Her bravery inspired many women to enlist and participate on battalions! They formed a group commanded by Maria who bravely defended Ilha da Maré, Barra do Paraguaçu, Itapuã and Pituba. She and her group also had a huge feature fighting against the portuguese troops on the Paraguaçu river. With her help, Bahia was finally free on July 2, 1823!

After the independency, she was promoted to cadet, received the title of “Cavaleiro da Ordem Imperial do Cruzeiro” (Grand Imperial Cross of Cruzeiro) by Dom Pedro I and was recognized as a hero of Brazil’s independency! Maria came back to Bahia with a letter from the Imperator asking her father to forgive her from running away.

She got married with a farmer called Gabriel Pereira and had a daughter, Luisa Maria da Conceição. She died on August 21, 1853, almost blind and completely forgotten. She is buried on the church Matriz do Santissimo Sacrado in Salvador.

Maria Quitéria became the patroness of the Quadro Oficial de Oficiais of brazilian army. In 1953, the brazilian government ordered that her portrait would be in all departments and units of our army.
