'An example of fearless bravery in the ominous face of darkness.' - Kirkus ReviewsHonorable Mention:  Premio Campoy-Ada Awards.The Mirabal sisters lived during a time when the Dominican Republic was ruled by a very harsh dictatorship. Even though they were daughters, wives, and mothers, Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa went against the norm and bravely stood up to the dictatorship, getting involved in secret activities against the government. They were affectionately called 'Las Mariposas (The Butterflies)' by their community, and their actions had a lasting impact on their country as they fought for freedom. They didn’t live to see the results of their bravery, but their unwavering courage in fighting for justice was not affected by the uncertainty of the future. In their honor, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is observed every year on November 25th.**********Las hermanas Mirabal vivieron en una época en la que la República Dominicana estaba gobernada por una dictadura muy dura. A pesar de ser hijas, esposas y madres, Patria, Minerva y María Teresa desafiaron la norma y se enfrentaron valientemente a la dictadura, participando en actividades secretas contra el gobierno. Eran cariñosamente llamadas 'Las Mariposas' por su comunidad, y sus acciones tuvieron un impacto duradero en su país mientras luchaban por la libertad. Aunque no vivieron para ver los resultados de su valentía, su inquebrantable coraje en la lucha por la justicia no se vio afectado por la incertidumbre del futuro. En su honor, el Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Violencia Contra la Mujer se observa todos los años el 25 de noviembre.
