Ché Guevara, Fidel y Raúl Castro y Camilo Cienfuegos son los nombres e imágenes asociados a la guerrilla cubana que derrocó la tiranía en Cuba. Celia Sánchez Manduley fue una clase de mujer cubana de clase media, bióloga de profesión, comprometida en el cambio de la situación social y económica de los campesinos bajo el régimen de Fulgencio Batista. Ella inició y se fomentó una guerra de guerrillas en la Sierra Maestra, pues estaba decidida a poner fin a la tiranía de Batista, la mafia y el gobierno de EE.UU., los cuales, ella creía, eran los responsables de la violación y del robo de la sociedad cubana. Refugiada en las montañas de la Sierra, reclutó campesinos dispuestos a enfrentar la tiranía. Quienes fueron testigos de su plan, organización y elaboración de estrategias y lucha en la Sierras, creen que en su movimiento revolucionario estableció la base del éxito final de la "Revolución de Castro". Este artículo enfoca la obra de las mujeres en el éxito de la revolución cubana, con frecuencia enfatizada en los libros de historia y en las discusiones historiográficas, sin atender a los eventos que, desde estas mujeres que participaron tempranamente en ella, dieron pie al éxito revolucionario. ; Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Raul Castro and CamiloCienfuegos, these are the men whose images havealways been associated with the Cuban Guerilla groupwhich brought an end to the tyrannical leadership inCuba.

The situation of indigenous women in Chihuahua is characterized by marginalization, poverty, and inequality. For this reason, some indigenous members of the Rarámuri community are forced to migrate with their families to the major cities of the state in order to satisfy their most basic needs. In the indigenous community settled in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, we find that the community´s government is administered and regulated by women, a role that has been traditionally assigned to men. The purpose of this article is to approach women›s participation in the Tarahumara´s government at Ciudad Juarez in order to understand their role as government officials, political leadership, and the methods they use to solve the community´s problem. In order to accomplish our objective, we interviewed female government representatives of the Tarahumara community in Ciudad Juarez. The results of this research showed two significant issues: the extreme vulnerability in which the indigenous people live in the urban environment and the strategies women use, attached to the gender role, to maintain order, leadership, and improve the quality of life of their community.

Social Representations is one of the most important theories in contemporary social psychology. Since the social psychologist Serge Moscovici developed his theory of social representations to explain how a scientific theory such as the psychoanalysis turns into a common sense knowledge many studies have been done by different social psychologists. The analysis of the social representations of women as represented in myths & popular beliefs is an excellent opportunity to study how this theory can be applied to this representational field. At the same time it makes possible to understand the formation of attitudes towards women.

The collection consists of correspondence, minutes, and printed materials pertaining to the organization and activities of the Depo Diaries, a national storytelling project of the Committee on Women, Population, and the Environment (CWPE), 1999-2008. Files include forms and questionnaires for participants in the project, promotional flyers, meeting minutes, and printed materials pertaining to reproductive justice and other CWPE activities. ; Formed in 2001, the Committee on Women, Population, and the Environment (CWPE), a multi-racial alliance of feminist community organizers, scholarly activists, and health practitioners, is committed to promoting the social and economic empowerment of women in a context of global peace and justice; and to eliminating poverty. As an organization, CWPE supports women's right to safe, voluntary birth control and abortion, while strongly opposing demographically driven population policies, challenging the belief that population growth is the primary cause of environmental degradation, conflict, and growing poverty, working to provide a broader analysis that reflects the complexity of these issues. CWPE works to build partnerships with community organizers, scholar-activists, and health practitioners to accomplish its political goals, coordinating three task forces: the Dangerous Contraceptive Task Force; the Immigration, Environment, and Gender Task Force; and the Gender, Eugenics, and Biotechnology Task Force. These are the vehicles through which CWPE builds strong coalitions to challenge oppressive population control policies. In addition, CWPE also coordinates three critical initiatives designed to address and undermine reproductive violence and increase reproductive self-determination: Stop C.R.A.C.K.!, Depo Diaries, and Stop Sex Selection!. Depo Diaries was a national storytelling project with an emphasis on reproductive justice with the goal of uncovering a more accurate picture of the range and kinds of side effects women experience from Depo-Provera (trademarked name of medroxyprogesterone, an injected contraceptive).
