Dolores
Dolores Huerta defied gender norms in the 1950s by forming the country's first agricultural worker's union alongside Cesar Chavez, who was also an organizer at the time. What starts out as a campaign for racial and labor justice quickly transforms into a fight for gender equality inside the same union she is eventually forced to leave as a result of the actions of others. Even as she struggles with the challenges of raising 11 children and three marriages, and even as she is nearly killed by members of a San Francisco tactical police unit, Dolores comes up with a vision that ties her newly discovered feminism with racial and class justice.
