Biography
Tavares was the daughter of François de Lalemode Hailliot and Henriette Souleaux Hailliot, immigrant Frenchmen who came to Brazil in the mid-19th century.Pereira Dias, 2008, p. 3 In her diary, she refers to the fact that her mother was born in a castle in Bordeaux implying a possible aristocratic origin of her mother's family. In the late 1880s, Tavares was sent to the Brazilian capital to study teaching at the Normal School of Porto Alegre. She studied with another future libertarian pedagogue Ana Amaral Lisboa Aurora. In 1890, she married the Portuguese trader, José Joaquim Tavares. In 1898, Tavares and her husband moved to Encruzilhada do Sul, and two years later, they moved to São Gabriel da Estrela.Pereira Dias, 2008, p. 4.Tavares, 1999, pp. 73-74.
Despite adversity, Tavares persisted in her role as a teacher, taking herself with educating rural children. As a teacher, she abolished corporal punishment to learners, very common at the time, and went on to innovate in educational methods, abolishing religious education, and adopting revolutionary proposals by the anarchist Catalan educator, Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia.Pereira Dias, 2008, p.4 Her students Nino Martins, Cecilio Vilar and Espertirina Martins became libertarian activists.{{cite web | last=Rodrigues | first=Edgar | title=Latin American Anarchist Women | website=Kate Sharpley Library | date=12 August 1900 | url=https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/2jm6zp | access-date=20 March 2023}}
