  abstract = {<p>This paper studies the family profiles of women holding key decision-making positions in the Federa{\c c}{\~a}o das Sociedades de Assist{\^e}ncia aos L{\'a}zaros e Defesa Contra a Lepra in different parts of Brazil. Using prosopography as a research method and technique, information was collated on women who were closely involved in Brazil{\textquoteright}s health policy concerning leprosy from the mid-1920s to the late 1940s. The research confirms the involvement of the women in the control and management of the country{\textquoteright}s preventoria and suggests that the social and professional standing of the fathers and/or husbands of the women who ran the federation was an element that influenced their actions towards the disease.</p>},
