Zilda Gama was one of Brazil's most famous mediums. She was born on March 11, 1878, in Três Ilhas, Juiz de Fora and died on January 10, 1969, in Rio de Janeiro.

Zilda Gama lived almost 91 years, becoming a paradigm for all those who see mediumship as a legitimate and authentic priesthood.

Without a doubt, the great mediums that have served as a bridge between the material world and the spiritual, in the good work to reveal new horizons for the troubled humanity on earth, they have been missionaries, and can even be said that in the constellation of mediums that have shone on the Earth, providing people with new knowledge and preparing the ground for the implementation of the truth, Zilda Range shone with her own light, which gave her one of the leading positions.

At the early age of 24, she was orphaned and had to take over the running of the household, caring for five younger siblings and, later, five more orphaned nephews and nieces.

She was a teacher and school principal, and won awards in competitions organised by the Minas Gerais Department of Education.

In 1931, when there was an intense movement for women's rights in Brazil, Zilda Gama was the author of the thesis on women's suffrage in Congress. The thesis was officially approved.

She wrote stories and poems for several newspapers, among them the "Jornal do Brasil", the "Gazeta de Notícias" and the "Revista da Week", all of the former federal capital.

From a very young age, Zilda Gama began to perceive the presence of spirits. She received mediumistic messages from her disincarnated father and sister, who advised and comforted her in the difficult times she was going through.

In 1912, she received an interesting message signed by Allan Kardec. After this manifestation, the Codifier gave her further teachings, which were printed in the book "Diary of the Invisible", published in 1929.

In 1916, her benefactors informed her that she would write a novel, a fact that left her rather perplexed. The Spirit Victor Hugo then began to write through her. In a short time, the first work, "In Light and Shadow", was finished. Later, under the tutelage of the same Spirit, came the books "From Calvary to Infinity", "Redemption", "Supreme Sorrow" and "Crucified Souls", all published by the FEB.

Zilda Gama's books on mediumship made an epoch in spiritist literature, besides having the merit of alleviating many sorrows and stopping many tears. She was the pioneer in Brazil to receive such a vast literature from the spirit world.

Her mediumship resulted in other publications: "Solar de Apolo", "Na Seara Bendita", "Na Cruzada do Mestre’" and "Elegias Douradas".

A teacher par excellence, she organised the following books: ‘’The Children's Book‘’, ‘’The Little Children‘’, ‘’The Teacher's Manual‘’ and ‘’The Thought‘’.

Despite the great moral struggles she had to endure, Zilda Gama was a mentor to many children.

In 1959, after suffering a stroke, she lived in a wheelchair, assisted by her nephew Mário Ângelo de Pinho, who kept her company.

Zilda Gama, an exceptional soul, dedicated her whole life to spreading the Consoling Doctrine of the Spirits in Brazil.
