Daniela Moraes Traldi examines how Integralistas, the Brazilian fascists who purportedly numbered one million members by 1935, created Brazil’s first-ever mass political organization and how they survived after the mid-1940s pushed for by women. In the 1930s, Integralistas envisioned creating what they called a Christian holistic state (Estado Integral), in which corporatism, nationalism, and faith would sustain the country’s very existence in opposition to communism, materialism, and liberalism.
