Biography
Anésia Pinheiro Machado (Itaí, June 5, 1904 - Rio de Janeiro, May 10, 1999) was a Brazilian aviator. She was the second woman to obtain an aviator's license in Brazil and the first to perform a solo flight in Brazilian skies. She became known worldwide for her activism in feminist causes and for her aerial conquests throughout her life. In May 1940, Mrs. Ulysses Grant McQuenn, president of the Women's International Association of Aeronautics, on a visit to Brazil, praised Anesia's performance after watching an acrobatic display by the Brazilian aviator on a Bücker Jungman training plane in Rio de Janeiro.

Clarinda is the adopted daughter of Alberto da Silva, an industrialist facing a crisis due to excess inventory. Benedito Silveira, a representative of a European firm interested in Alberto's products, flirted with Clarinda, despite being relatively old. If Clarinda's heart belonged to him, the problem of the accumulated inventory would be solved. However, Clarinda either didn't want to, or couldn't understand, Benedito's romantic intentions. She spent her time outings with Laura, a highly experienced aviator and her childhood friend. The factory's growing crisis forced the shareholders to meet frequently. Employee layoffs were inevitable. Antonio Martins was a young shareholder who spent most of his time in clubs and cabarets. Introduced to Clarinda, he began to court her, eventually declaring his love. But Clarinda thought of no other affection than that of her adoptive father.
