A Dutch military expedition entered Palmares in March 1645. A chapter built around the dated report of 21 March follows the killing of an unnamed Palmarista woman by a Dutch bugler. The surviving account is colonial and male-authored, so it cannot tell her full story or how her community remembered her. Centering this episode makes visible that women lived, worked, and faced violence within Palmares, while warning that the archive often records them only when colonial forces encountered them.
