These are the Adelitas and Valentinas celebrated in famous \u003ci\u003ecorridos mexicanos,\u003c\/i\u003e but whose destiny was much more profound and tragic than the idealistic words of ballads. The photographs remind Poniatowska of the trail of women warriors that begins with the Spanish conquest and continues to Mexico’s violent revolution. These women are valiant, furious, loyal, maternal, and hardworking; they wear a mask that is part immaculate virgin, part mother and wife, and part savage warrior; and they are joined together in the cruel hymn of blood and death from which they built their own history of the Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe photographs are culled from the vast Casasola Collection in the Fototeca Nacional of the National Institute of Anthropology and History in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinco Puntos Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174282838256,"sku":"9781933693514","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933693514_p0.jpg?v=1763640632","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933693514","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
