{"product_id":"sebastiana-quebra-o-galho-da-mulher-independente","title":"SEBASTIANA HELPS THE INDEPENDENT WOMAN","description":"In this book, \"SEBASTIANA GETTING THE HANDS-ON FOR THE INDEPENDENT WOMAN,\" Rosa Amanda Strausz has compiled Nenzinha Machado Salles's best tips for modern women, always pressed for time to tidy up their homes and themselves. These pieces of advice range from \"washing your face with cold water to getting long-lasting makeup,\" \"removing alcohol stains with ether,\" and \"pumice stone is great for softening knees and elbows.\" A series of little tricks and charms—based on the wisdom of our grandmothers—that will save any woman from a nervous breakdown and add charm to the book. Divided into seven thematic chapters—your closet, beauty, home sweet home, the house, the kitchen, tableware, and kitchen utensils, and a bug has gotten into your house!—the book helps independent women take care of a wide range of everyday matters. From your closet and your favorites to what to do in the midst of a cockroach attack (if they come up through the sewer, pour some kerosene down the pipes; learn how to find their nests; prepare homemade insecticides from potato peels). SEBASTIANA QUEBRA O GALHO DA MULHER INDEPENDENTE has everything it needs to become the bible for young women, replicating the success that SEBASTIANA QUEBRA GALHO achieved with our mothers and grandmothers. A guide for women divided between work, home, children, and the most basic self-care. Nenzinha Machado Salles was born on March 29, 1921, in São Manoel, in the interior of São Paulo state. A wife and a doting housewife, she specialized in the art of managing a home, accumulating valuable knowledge, much of it learned from Sebastiana, the maid who worked for her for over a decade. But Nenzinha was never selfish and had the idea of putting her domestic wisdom into a book, thus passing on her tips and tricks and helping housewives (and men) throughout Brazil. Thus came her greatest success, Sebastiana Quebra-Galhos, originally published by Civilização Brasileira and now published by Editora Record. Nenzinha Machado Salles was a member of the Petrópolis Academy of Letters. She is the author of Maria Melado, Simpatias da Eufrázia, Contos que te conto, and Tira-manchas, which will be reissued. \"D. Nenzinha Machado Salles, an author dedicated to making life easier, more viable, and more enjoyable for everyone through her books that eliminate everyday obstacles and problems, is not concerned with Byzantine speculations about such mysteries. What she wants, and does well, is to give us her contribution—which she sought from the archives of collective memory—to the happiness of each one.\" – Ênio Silveira","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174819971324,"sku":"9788501059956","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/800b92200b608a6be5477b9de69476c1_bb61e0f5-010d-4296-a241-063f5f05cc10.jpg?v=1783703210","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/sebastiana-quebra-o-galho-da-mulher-independente","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
