Florida, Mar. 8 – Cuban women continue to be conquerors of the impossible things, heroes in every task and memorable feat of a Revolution that saw them born as masters of their destiny and subjects of change in that historic Guáimaro Assembly, when Ana Betancourt raised her voice to demand rights.
The legacy of many others such as Mariana Grajales, the mother of the Maceos; Haidée Santamaría and Melba Hernández, the heroes of the Moncada; and Vilma Espín and Celia Sánchez, protagonists of the definitive war alongside Fidel in the Sierra Maestra, continues alive and victorious in the actions of the women of this rebellious land.
Full of virtues, masters of their destiny and willing to take their place in a society that opened doors and thousands of opportunities, after the triumph of January 1st, 1959, Cuban women conquered the university, reached all sectors of the economy and occupy management and leadership positions at all levels of administration and government.
In Florida, this reality is proven when we know that in sectors as sensitive and necessary as Public Health and Agriculture, women are protagonists in each of the missions, from the nurse, the doctor, the technologist or the scientist, to the peasant woman in a farm, the grassroots leader or the main leader of the organization at the provincial level
Undoubtedly, the tribute to the Floridian and Cuban woman in general is a source of pride on every date, especially in this March when the hands are filled with flowers to praise her beauty, her work and her spirit of resistance and victory.
