Dina Alma de Paradeda, usually known simply as Alma de Paradeda (1871 – 8 December 1906, age 35, Breslau), was a Brazilian socialite, known for the circumstances of her death (poisoning herself in front of a doctor, who, after examining the body, revealed she was physically male) and subsequent media interest in the story; the numerous testimonies of it made her one of the first documented and known by name transgender women either of South American origin or living in Central-Eastern Europe.

[1] Paradeda was born in 1871 as Alfred (or Alfredo) H., to a Brazilian woman, and probably a Spanish consul, and a count from Rio de Janeiro, and had at least one brother.

[6] She was also supposed to be a good conversationalist who stoked interest with her stories from Brazil or Paris, dispelling any initial doubt or distrust caused by her height or low voice.

[2] On 28 October 1906, Paradeda left Paris and moved to Breslau as Töpfer's fiancée, meeting his friends and family and renting a new apartment.

[2] The story of a "male bride from Breslau" was published in newspapers worldwide, including the German language Indiana Tribüne in the USA[7] and Poverty Bay Herald in New Zealand.
