A powerful reclamation of the vital activism of women in the Young Lords Party who fought for gender equity, racial justice, and Puerto Rican liberation.

Written by Raquel M. Ortiz and Iris Morales
Bilingual Children's Book. Inspired by historical events, the story recounts events in East Harlem, New York, in 1969 when members of the Young Lords Organization united with residents to make positive neighborhood changes.
