The meeting of the bald women


One morning, in Judge Suely's office, two friends appeared to talk to her: Mimi and the veterinarian Anna Paula. It turns out that, like Suely, and inspired by her, Mimi and Anna Paula had shaved their heads and become bald by choice, years ago. Mimi is a farmer and has a stall at the market, and she was a candidate for city councilor in 2016, when she still had hair, for vice-mayor in 2020, when she was already bald, and for mayor in 2024, when she was defeated by Myllena, Suely's sister.

The three exchanged ideas about the possibility of creating a group for them in the city. Suely, who had already been invited to join the Society of the Free Feet, which brings together barefoot people, decided to think about creating an association that would bring together women who have made the decision to abandon their hair.

Suely said:

- Valdenes invited me to join a barefoot group that's still forming, and I thought about doing the same for us. You know, we suffer a lot of prejudice; people ask if we're sick or undergoing treatment. They don't understand that I decided to be bald, I wanted to be bald. My two daughters follow the same style as me.

- It would be nice, you can't imagine the jokes I hear. But I don't regret it; I personally have no desire to let my hair grow back - said Mimi.

- I also love being bald, and I'm going to stay that way - said Anna Paula.

Suely said:

- Let's talk to the other bald women in the city, like the former councilwoman Maria Isabel, and others who have adopted our style. And you know, Mimi, I propose that you be the president of the society.

- Me?????

- Yes, you are more capable of leading. I'm not vain about it; even in the barefoot group they offered me the presidency, but I didn't accept it right away. I can be the vice-president, with you as president.

- Well, that's something we'll still discuss. Let's see first which women will agree to participate.

Anna Paula said:

- Since there are very few bald women here, we can invite non-bald people who also accept our struggle.

- That could work. - said Mimi.

Suely, Mimi, and Anna Paula had coffee, and at one point, Anna Paula asked:

- Could Mimi be part of the barefoot group? She's only barefoot on one foot, not the other.

Mimi laughed, and Suely said:

- Yes, she can, yes, from what Valdenes told me.
