Women and the Mexican Revolution

The Mexican Revolution, which brought huge social changes for Mexico, thrust women into roles not previously expected of them or even sanctioned in the country dominated by Porfirio Diaz. Three figures serve as framework for considering the innovative realms of authority of our foremothers: the moral (Teresita Urrea), the intellectual (Jovita Idar), and the pragmatic (La Adelita-Las Soldaderas).
