Overview

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Las indómitas (The Untamed) pays tribute to the anonymous face of the women who fought in the Revolution, the unmistakable Jesusa Palancares, and the silence of domestic workers.
Mothers, activists, revolutionaries, artists, and tireless workers; from their trenches, they have fought to disrupt the patriarchal order, but they have also been the engine that has given a new twist to history, and whose brilliant example is the beacon that guides us towards the future. From the soldaderas of the Revolution; the beloved Jesusa Palancares (protagonist of Hasta no verte Jesús mío); domestic workers; the extraordinary writers Nellie Campobello, Josefina Vicens, and Rosario Castellanos, to the activist Rosario Ibarra de Piedra and the feminist Marta Lamas, this collection of essays shares the legacy of the women who do not know the meaning of surrender.
The Elena Poniatowska Library gathers the literary, essayistic, and critical work of the writer who has restored women to their central role in society. In Las indómitas, she pays tribute to the heroines committed to justice and creativity.
