#DominicanHerstory: Highlighting Dominicanas Who Are Impacting Our Community by Amanda Alcantara “The story of the Hermanas Mirabal is one that has resonated with women across the globe. Las Mariposas that fought against the Trujillo dictatorship have become a powerful symbol of the fight to end violence against women. They are, without a doubt, a source of pride for young Dominicanas who are learning about their history.And yet we mustn't ignore that there are more mariposas that also deserve to be celebrated for actively doing important work in their communities, their respective fields, or their artistic realms. This past month, La Galería Magazine decided to join in the celebration of Women’s History Month by highlighting Dominicanas past and present on our Facebook page. We launched the series with Las Hermanas Mirabal, and then were pleasantly unsurprised and thrilled to see that there were more women making an impact than there were days in a month.To view the complete list, please visit our Facebook page.
