The remarkable true story of Jovita Valdovinos, a Mexican
revolutionary who disguised herself as a man to fight for her rights,
told by her great-niece, award-winning author, Aida Salazar!
Jovita soñaba con poder usar pantalones como sus hermanos Ramón y
Luciano.
Cuando su padre y sus hermanos marcharon a la Guerra Cristera a luchar
por el derecho a practicar libremente su religión, ella quiso ayudar.
Entonces sobrevino la tragedia, y Jovita se vio obligada a cortarse el
pelo, ponerse pantalones y continuar la lucha. Disfrazada de hombre, se
puso al mando de un batallón que la siguió sin dudar.
Jovita dreamed of wearing pants like her brothers, Ramón and Luciano.
When her father and brothers joined the Cristeros War to fight for the
right to practice religion freely, she wanted to help. Then tragedy
struck, compelling Jovita to cut her hair, put on pants, and continue
the fight. Disguised as a man, she commanded a battalion who followed
her without question.
