Rita de Cássia Lahoz Morelli was a Brazilian lawyer, journalist, and activist who fought tirelessly for women's rights and social justice. Born in 1907, she came of age in a time when women in Brazil were denied basic rights, such as the right to vote, own property, or work outside the home. Despite these challenges, Morelli refused to be silenced. She became a vocal advocate for women's rights, using her writing and activism to challenge the status quo and demand change.

Morelli's work was often controversial, and she was frequently criticized for her outspokenness. However, she never wavered in her commitment to fighting for what she believed in. In 1932, she helped found the Brazilian Feminist Federation, and she later served as the organization's president. She also founded the magazine "A Mulher" (The Woman), which provided a platform for women to share their stories and experiences.

Morelli's work had a profound impact on the women's movement in Brazil. She helped to raise awareness of women's rights issues, and she inspired countless women to fight for their own rights. In 1934, she was awarded the Order of the Southern Cross, Brazil's highest honor for civilian service.
