Resumen
FONSECA, Jorge. A black woman of São Tomé in Lisbon, during the XVI century: Simoa Godinho, a landlady, sugar merchant and Misericórdia’s sponsor. Faces de Eva. Estudos sobre a Mulher [online]. 2019, n.42, pp.103-115. ISSN 0874-6885. https://doi.org/10.34619/k8e1-hw13.
Simoa Godinho was a landlady of large properties in São Tomé Island. In Lisbon she supported the Misericórdia. The article includes this personality among the limited number of Free Africans who distinguished themselves due to the fortune or social position. They were dignitaries, diplomats or businessmen and businesswomen. Their lives have been very different from the numerous black slaves and free. This object has been obtained with recourse of unpublished documents, as well as her will, already known.
