-Here, she worked as a maid for white families, but found that the work clashed with her independent personality. In 1948, de Jesus became pregnant. This led to her dismissal by the family for which she was a maid, and her only option was to move to a favela (link article). Levine, Robert M. The Cautionary Tale of Carolina Maria de Jesus (1994)

-(2nd to last paragraph) De Jesus' newfound fame was found to be brief mainly due to the military dictatorship coming into power in 1964 (citation of military dictatorship), which turned people away from socially critical works of literature, such as Quarto de Despejo. Without a propagation of her status to provide income, she eventually was forced to move back to the favela, making the situation even more complicated for her sick son, João. Levine, Robert M. The Cautionary Tale of Carolina Maria de Jesus (1994)

-Carolina Maria de Jesus had a great cultural impact on Brazil. Her decision to write about the struggles of the community versus strictly about her own struggles was something unprecedented in Brazil and was a perspective that was appreciated internationally. https://www.palmares.gov.br/?p=31849 + Levine, Robert M.
