The Mirabal sisters lived during a time when the Dominican Republic was ruled by a very harsh dictatorship. Even though they were daughters, wives, and mothers, Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa went against the norm and bravely stood up to the dictatorship, getting involved in secret activities against the government. They were affectionately called "Las Mariposas (The Butterflies)" by their community, and their actions had a lasting impact on their country as they fought for freedom. They didn't live to see the results of their bravery, but their unwavering courage in fighting for justice was not affected by the uncertainty of the future.

A pesar de ser hijas, esposas y madres, Patria, Minerva y María Teresa desafiaron la norma y se enfrentaron valientemente a la dictadura, participando en actividades secretas contra el gobierno. Eran cariñosamente llamadas "Las Mariposas" por su comunidad, y sus acciones tuvieron un impacto duradero en su país mientras luchaban por la libertad. Aunque no vivieron para ver los resultados de su valentía, su inquebrantable coraje en la lucha por la justicia no se vio afectado por la incertidumbre del futuro. En su honor, el Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Violencia Contra la Mujer se observa todos los años el 25 de noviembre.

Autorenporträt
Raynelda grew up in the Dominican Republic on a healthy diet of romance novels, comic strips, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's books, and other literature. She spends her free time thinking about (and drafting) books to write. As a librarian, her work with children inspired her to create picture books that highlight the accomplishments of Hispanic women in history. She hopes to inspire young readers to follow their passions and never take no for an answer. This is her fourth children's book.
