A picture book to get to know the exceptional woman who was Maria Lamas.

We are promoting this campaign because we need help to complete our project to publish a picture book about Maria Lamas. Mafalda has already written the text and Rui Pedro has already done the illustrations, but, in order to print 1000 copies, we still need €4000. We believe it is important to make this woman's life known to a wider audience. We sought to create a book for children, young people and intelligent adults.

We have worked, above all, with Municipal Councils who purchase copies from us to offer to children in schools or for sale, but, in the case of this book, we did not receive the support we expected...

When Maria Lamas was born, Portugal was still a monarchy, but she lived long enough to participate in the celebration of freedom and democracy on the 25th of April. She was one of the first journalists, in a profession dominated by men. She was also a writer and translator. She fought for the rights of women and children at a time when society kept women at home to cook and take care of their children and husbands. She fought for a fairer world against Salazar's dictatorship, was arrested and lived in exile for several years. She traveled to several countries carrying the women's struggle and the flag of peace. She discovered the meaning of his life: leaving the world a better place.

After the crowdfunding campaign, the book will be on sale for €13.50.

About the author

Barca do Inferno is a small publisher that creates and publishes illustrated books since 2012. It's a way of sharing themes and ideas that we like. Illustrations are not just for children, that's why we try to make books to dream about at any age! The care, effort and investment that each project requires does not allow for many publications, but we work every day because we believe that someone will like it in leaf through one of our books. We have already published several books, many of which are included in the National Reading Plan lists.

Mafalda has a degree in Art History from FCSH/UNL and a master's degree in Art and Heritage Sciences from FBAUL, with a merit scholarship in the 2012/2013 academic year. She completed an internship at the Ingres Museum, in Montauban, France, under the Leonardo da Vinci program and collaborated with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's Center for Modern Art in producing texts about works by the artist Fernando Calhau published on the Foundation's website. In 2012, she created, with Rui Pedro Lourenço, the publishing house Barca do Inferno. She received a Literary Creation Grant in 2018 awarded by the Direção-Geral do Livro, dos Arquivos e das Bibliotecas / Ministério da Cultura. She has written several books, many recommended by the National Reading Plan.

Rui Pedro Lourenço was born in Leiria in 1973. He studied painting at the Center for Arts and Visual Communication - Ar.Co. in Lisbon. In 2001 he was selected for the National Exhibition of Young Creators, in the area of illustration. He worked in advertising and in bookstores, was a wall and furniture decorator and collaborated on a newspaper cartoon . He currently works in illustration and is an editor and illustrator at Barca do Inferno, the publishing house he created in 2012, with Mafalda Brito. He participates in painting and illustration exhibitions. He lives and works in Leiria.
