Marilza Martins da Silva (born 12 March 1964), commonly known as Pelézinha, is a Brazilian former football player, who operated as a forward for the Brazil women's national football team. Her nickname is an homage to the celebrated male footballer Pelé.

Early life

Pelézinha began playing football as a youngster with the boys in her neighbourhood of Lins de Vasconcelos, north of Rio de Janeiro. She grew up as a supporter of Flamengo and admired Adílio.

Career

In 1981, Pelézinha quit school and left America-RJ to join EC Radar on a professional basis.[1] After playing for Radar, representing Brazil, in the 1986 edition of the Mundialito tournament in Italy, Italian clubs reportedly offered a $35,000 transfer fee to sign star player Pelézinha.[2] She was also part of the Radar squad who went to the 1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament in Guangdong as Brazil and finished in third place.[3]

In the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup, Pelézinha started the second group game against the United States. She was unable to make an impression against the American defense and was substituted early in the second half for 16–year–old Pretinha. Disastrous attempts to play the offside trap contributed to Brazil's 5–0 defeat to the eventual champions. Pelézinha was a reserve in the other two group games.[4]

The Brazilian women's national team did not play another match for over three years, until a sponsorship from Maizena corn starch allowed them to play in the 1995 South American Women's Football Championship. Pelézinha was absent from the squad.[5]

Sexuality in Christian demonology

Lilith, 1887 by John Collier To Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Jews there were male and female demons (Jewish demons were mostly male, although female examples such as Lilith exist). In Christian demonology and theology there is debate over the gender and sexual proclivities of demons. These questions are referenced in Italian,[a] French,[b] Spanish and Portuguese phrases that imply that the question is pointless and unanswerable, akin to the English phrase How many a...
