  1. In the history of the #revolts against #slavery, enslaved #women must not be reduced to the role of passive victims of colonial violence. This is particularly evident in the case of Carlota #Lucumí, who heroically defended herself against her oppressors with a machete in her hand and is still considered a revolutionary #symbol of Cuba today.
    Long before the Cuban Revolution, the so-called #Triunvirato #Revolution shaped the history of the island, during which numerous #slaves rose up against their owners. It was a large movement that took hold of several plantations. For once, the rebellion was led by a woman who is now revered as a hero and #resistance fighter in #Cuba: #Carlota.
