More about the book

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Puerto Rico, the play explores the awakening of Angelina, who, inspired by European intellectuals, challenges societal norms regarding labor and women's rights. As workers strike in Arecibo, she urges her wealthy father to redistribute his wealth, embodying Capetillo's militant feminist and anarchist ideals. This collection, featuring plays, essays, and reflections, highlights Capetillo's advocacy for justice and equality, while an introduction by Lara Walker contextualizes her significant contributions to social movements.
