If women happened to be mentioned, they appeared only as symbols, not as social agents. However, the role of the Adelitas, the Cristeras, the Hijas del AnÁhuac, and the women of the \u0026amp;Aacute;crata Group were essential to the revolution. In \u003ci\u003eFreethinkers and Labor Leaders\u003c\/i\u003e MarÍa Teresa FernÁndez Aceves tells the stories of five militant feminist women who aided in the creation of a modern culture in revolutionary and postrevolutionary Mexico and, in some ways, Latin America as a whole: BelÉn de SÁrraga HernÁndez (1872–1950), Atala Apodaca Anaya (1884–1977), MarÍa Arcelia DÍaz (1896–1939), MarÍa Guadalupe MartÍnez Villanueva (1906–2002), and MarÍa Guadalupe UrzÚa Flores (1912–2004).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These five women formed part of two cultural generations that participated together in the Mexican Revolution, in the consolidation of state cooperative institutions, and in the antiestablishment and dissident politics that evolved in the late 1940s. Through these social processes and their struggles as women, mothers, and workers, these women fought for secular education, labor rights, and the civil and political rights of women, redefining cultural and social constructions. Based on original, pathbreaking research, \u003ci\u003eFreethinkers and Labor Leaders\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how five women transformed Latin American society’s ideas of citizenship, femininity, masculinity, and politics.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter I.
