Abstract

This study aims to analyse unofficial female diplomatic activity during the transition from the imperial government to the Brazilian republic. The research, based on periodical and bibliographical sources, made it possible to map out the role of women from the nobility as true cultural ambassadors of the time. They were responsible for strengthening ties and exchanges between different nations, as well as acting as spokespeople for the construction of national identity.
