ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Testimonies of the protagonists of the Mexican Revolution.
It is impossible to understand the Mexican Revolution without the soldaderas who made it possible, who bravely assumed the historical moment and who not only faced the bloody face of the insurrection with fortitude, but also suffered the abuses to which they were relegated by their condition of being women. Nurses, cooks and soldiers, they broke all stereotypes and became heroines. This is the portrait of one of the most glorious pages of our history.
The Elena Poniatowska Library brings together the narrative, essayistic and journalistic work of the writer who has been able to recognize the true protagonists who built modern Mexico.
In Las soldaderas we witness the extraordinary feat of the Adelitas and Valentinas who were not afraid to dream of freedom.
