Repost from @theinertia - Silvana Lima (@silvanalimasurf) is the only Brazilian woman in the top 50 of the @wsl. I feel like being a third world country for years has shaped womens roles [in Brazil], says Australian @becwoods, who competed on the CT for a decade (and many times in Brazil). Where much of the world is trying to move forward through a lot of womens issues, some larger countries with poverty issues [seem to] have priorities on different things. Which is a shame, because they would be supporting a movement of empowerment and probably, boost the whole country. The world wouldnt know what hit it. That country is full of incredible talent that we will never get to see, Woods continues. Hats off to Silvana, Jackie [Silva], and Tita Tavares. They brought the Brazil firecracker to the world stage and I actually loved it. I hope more follow, but that depends on the men in the industry there. Writer Casey Butler (@casebut) poses the question: where are all of the Brazilian women? R
