my (real) name is blaise and I am fond of the following things:
food, cooking, feminism, cats, the protomen, pretentious photography, writing, disney movies, cosplay, anime, clothes, shoes, death cab for cutie, poetry, pablo neruda, the important people in my life.
sometimes I like to talk about these things but other times I like to yell about them. But most importantly I believe you must always tumbl responsibly.

A feminist symbol of the Mexican Revolution, La Adelita was the name of a woman soldier, a soldadera, who followed the troops, helped set up camp, and cooked for the soldiers

The legend states that Adelita was a woman who fought in the Revolution. It is not known if she actually existed as an individual, but she came to epitomize all soldaderas and courageous women of that period. 

La Adelita is more than a romantic image to modern-day Chicanas. She continues to symbolize feminine independence, integrity, the fight or justice, and a proud heritage.
