Wanted to read more of Elena Poniatowska's work. Interesting read, but I realized that I should have read the book in Spanish to truly get what she wanted to say.

The photos are amazing and Elena Poniatowska's narrative was passionate and illuminating.

The loyalty of these women is astounding. Makes me proud to be Mexican-American.
Great photos, hard to follow text, but not much text! About the women soldiers you've never heard about during the Mexican Revolution.
Lo primero que terminé de leer luego de que me dio covid. Elena siempre clava sus palabras justas.

Este fántastico libro explora la situación díficil de las adelita que participaban en la revolución mexicana. Este no es un romance - explora el menosprecio, la violación, el secuestro, el homicdio, la compulsión, y casi la esclavitud de muchas de las mujeres. También las diversas situaciónes - las que seguían a sus maridos, las que luchaban como capitanas, las que trabajaban por un sueldo o para las necesidades de la vida durante un tiempo difícil, las que fueron secuestradas y tomadas por fuer...
What a disappointment. This book is little more than a pamphlet to begin with, and the author chose to fill the pages with a rambling single chapter that covers the first half of the book. The second half is given over to photographs (the best half of the book by a long shot).I did come away with a limited amount of knowledge: the Mexican revolution spawned a group of women known as soldaderas who accompanied their husbands/boyfriends on campaign. For the most part these women were not fighters

Very educational. The structure is a little confusing but very like the author's other work -- almost a stream of conscious sort of feel. Utterly depressing at the shared commonality of certain women's roles in revolutions around the world. WHAT a universal constant. Do not read during pandemic if you are already depressed.

Una investigación documentada con fotografías del archivo Casasola. Se muestra la cara de la revolución que se conocía pero que se ignora, la cara de la Adelita, la soldadera, la mujer con su rifle y su comal, preparada para las necesidades de su hombre. Mujeres que fueron violentadas, robadas de sus comunidades para satisfacer los deseos sexuales de los revolucionarios, de cualquier frente. Mujeres que después no tuvieron otro recurso que seguir a esos hombres o enlistarse como hombres en el ej...
This is a great collection of photographs. I was disappointed that at page 39, less than halfway in, there ceased to be more historical context, as the info from pages 1-38 was fascinating. Otherwise, this is a great addition to my Latino Studies collection.
