The women -- Leonor Villegas de Magnón, Jovita Idar, and Josefina Nigglirepresent three powerful voices from which to gain a clearer understanding of women's lives and struggles during and after the Mexican Revolution and also, offer surprising insights into women's active roles in border life and the revolution itself.
