Testimonios de las protagonistas de la Revolución Mexicana
Imposible entender la Revolución mexicana sin las soldaderas que la hicieron posible, que asumieron el momento histórico con bravura y que no sólo enfrentaron con entereza la sangrienta cara de la insurrección, sino que también padecieron los abusos a los que las relegó su condición de ser mujer. Enfermeras, cocineras y soldados, rompieron con todos los estereotipos y se volvieron heroÃnas. Este es el retrato de una de las páginas más gloriosas de nuestra historia.
La Biblioteca Elena Poniatowska reúne la obra narrativa, ensayÃstica y periodÃstica de la escritora que ha sabido reconocer a las verdaderas protagonistas que construyeron el México moderno.
En Las soldaderas presenciamos la extraordinaria gesta de las adelitas y valentinas que no tuvieron miedo de soñar con la libertad.
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.
