Las Soldaderas Women of the Mexican Revolution
Elena Poniatowska

$12.95

The photographs of Las Soldaderas and Elena Poniatowska's remarkable commentary rescue the women of the Mexican Revolution from the dust and oblivion of history. These are the Adelitas and Valentinas celebrated in famous corridos mexicano/as, but whose destiny was much more profound and tragic than the idealistic words of ballads. These women are valiant, furious, loyal, maternal, and hard-working; they wear a mask that is part immaculate virgin, part mother and wife, and part fiery warrior; and they are joined together in the cruel hymn of blood and death from which they built their own history of the Revolution.

Softcover, 92pp, 55 full-page b/w glossy photos
