In the 19th century, women faced numerous challenges and restrictions in a patriarchal and male-dominated society, where their roles were rigidly defined and their contributions often underestimated. In The Return of Júlia Mann to Paraty (2021), Teolinda Gersão highlights a remarkable figure from this period. Júlia Mann confronted social norms and asserted her worth, defying the conventional expectations of German society. This article aims to highlight women’s ability to challenge oppressive social norms, using Júlia Mann as an example; to analyze the value of women in a patriarchal society; and to investigate how Júlia transgressed social norms, contributing to the reconstruction of values related to women’s roles. The methodology adopted is bibliographic, analytical, and critical-theoretical in nature, with an analysis of the literary work The Return of Júlia Mann to Paraty (2021). To understand Júlia Mann’s trajectory and the prevailing ideas about women in a patriarchal society, authors such as Ana Gabriela Macedo and Ana Luísa Amaral (2005), Raymond Williams (2011), Heleieth Saffioti (2015), Gerda Lerner (2019), and Annabela Rita and Miguel Real (2021) will be used. Júlia Mann’s actions highlight the importance of recognizing and valuing female contributions, serving as an inspiration for the fight for women’s recognition and empowerment in society.
