Between the 1970s and 2010s, Jacqueline Welch, Andréa de Mayo, and Cristiane Jordan commanded downtown São Paulo. Three T people who underwent political and social changes, suffered and perpetuated various threats and violence, abuses, and crimes. However, their story hardly appears in the official documents. There are no pictures left of Jacqueline with her "daughters" in the brothel. There are no reports or processes of when Cristiane was the victim of pedophilia in prostitution. There are no police inquiries into the murders Andrea claimed to have committed.
In view of this loquacious payment, Chico Felitti, one of the most ingenious and innovative journalists today, decided to set up a complex network of research and interviews to reconstitute the history of three key personalities for both São Paulo and the LGBTQIA+ community.
With his engaging and grounded narrative, Felitti shows what was left out of the bureaucratic record: the tenderness, wealth, generosity, and sisterhood of the three strong transvestites who dominated the center of Brazil's largest city for decades.
