Las Mariposas [The Butterflies]: Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa Mirabal (L-R). They were three sisters who opposed the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, and were involved in clandestine activities against his regime. Despite the leader seizing their property and placing them behind bars, the sisters – Patria, María Argentina Minerva and Antonia María Teresa, remained resilient and continued their mission to restore democracy in their country, a battle that ultimately cost these brave, powerful and feminist women their lives. The three sisters were assassinated on the 25th of November 1960.

At their time of death, Patria was 36, Minerva was 34 and Maria Teresa was 24.

Their deaths led to the establishment of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25th.

...there's a list as long as an epic poem of folks who'll swear a poem has never done a thing for them . . . except . . . perhaps adjust the sunset view one cloudy afternoon, which made them see themselves or see the world in a different light---degrees of change so small only a poem registers them at all. That's why they can be trusted, why poems might save us from what happens in the world.

from “'Poetry Makes Nothing Happen'?” in The Woman I Kept To Myself: Poems by Julia Alvarez, p. 133-134
