A *lot* of media has used @UnsettledCity's claims about this sole woman from the Mexican Revolution, and also erase Hopi women and girls.

So
@UnsettledCity's viral FB post is about a Mexican revolutionary woman. A *very* rich woman who's European family settled northern Mexico. -
Lost in all of that? Hopi women. Hopi girls. Erased in preference for a tidy narrative about revolution... that lacks nuance.

I'll add one more thing and get back to my Saturday: Clara de la Rocha does not represent all Mexican revolutionary women, of course.
-
There were lots of indigenous women who were part of the Mexican Revolution. But different women fought for different things. Again: nuance.
