Lusia Capetillo (1879-1922) was a Puerto Rican union organizer, reporter, and author who saw feminism and workers' rights as inseparable from one another. She fought for the intellectual and financial independence of women and encouraged education for the working class. She helped unionize workers in Puerto Rico, New York, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic and wrote three books on anarchism, feminism, and human rights.

They advocated and innovated to make the “office” – wherever it is – a more equitable place. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Lauren Willams, and Adrien Behn.

Join Lux and Haymarket for a discussion about feminist internationalism in the face of war. How do we practice feminist internationalism? The question has never been more urgent than today, as war rages in Ukraine. This is a problem feminists have faced many times before. Remember when Laura Bush tried to sell the war in Afghanistan as women's liberation? At the time, the left was hampered by thin relationships with our feminist counterparts in these countries, leaving the anti-war movement vulnerable to claims that women there really did want the help of the US military. Today, we're committed to strengthening those relationships through conversations like this one. The spring 2022 issue of Lux features several explorations of US empire from a feminist perspective. We talk with the women of the Revolutionary Afghan Women's Association about the US withdrawal, profile National Book Award-finalist poet Solmaz Sharif whose work confronts the War on Terror and her own exile from Iran, report on Okinawa's multigenerational anti-US-base movement, and pay tribute to Puerto Rican radical Luisa Capetillo. This event will take on the special role that feminism continues to play in anti-imperalist struggles, from the Middle East to East Asia to Latin America, connecting these struggles, and activists, across borders. ----------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Rozina Ali is a contributing writer at New York Times Magazine and a fellow at Type Media Center.

La vida en la ruralía del pueblo tabacalero que fue Comerío se desprende de la muerte y el olvido. Así, Archivo rural hila la genealogía del padre y de la familia extendida, tanto como la economía de las mujeres, o el lugar de las mujeres en la economía, como madres reproductoras, tabaqueras, maestras. A diferencia de la escritura nostálgica, la muerte del padre es la clave inicial de toda una reconstrucción. Se evade el tremendismo; se trasciende el patetismo. Vanessa Vilches Norat nos demuestra que se puede escribir así, iluminando un mundo tan despreciado como reprimido, del cual todavía quedan secretos, e incluso prácticas poderosas.” Marta Aponte Alsina ARCHIVO RURAL se presentará en el Archivo General de PR el próximo 5 de mayo a las 7pm. Presentarán el libro Malena Rodríguez Castro y Claudia Becerra. El evento incluirá una exhibición de fotos históricas sobre las tabacaleras y el pueblo de Comerío que están alojadas en el Archivo General.

On this episode Allison talks to friend and former co-worker Allison Kwesell, an assistant professor in Risk/Crisis Communications for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and photojournalist. We chat about Living Isolated: A Visual Narrative research project that had people across the US - including host Allison - document how they experienced COVID-19 and the pandemic. We also talk about how her time documenting crisis and conflict situations from around the world including her work in Japan influenced Living Isolated. Plus how the research could help in future crisis situations. The Things that Pissed Us Off are car break ins and people not appreciating audio as a storytelling medium. The Who's that Lady (from History)? is Luisa Capetillo, a feminist and activist. Resources: Luisa Capetillo
Líder sindical, activista, escritora, y la primera mujer en usar pantalones en Puerto Rico, Luisa Capetillo (Arecibo, Puerto Rico, 1879) es un nombre que no podemos olvidar. Wilfredo Burgos nos presenta a esta fuerte e inspiradora precursora del amor libre, del ejercicio físico, hasta del espiritismo. Vivió en Estados Unidos, Cuba, y República Domínicana y es reconocida un ícono de las luchas obreras y agrícolas y de los derechos de los niños. Escribió Ensayos Libertarios (1907), La Humanidad en el futuro (1910), Influencias de las Ideas Modernas (1916), Mi Opinión sobre los Derechos, Responsabilidades y Deberes de la Mujer (1911, 1913).
We've spent this series airing the dirty laundry of white women in the history of voting rights in this country. Along the way, we have mentioned the names of several women of color, also fighting for those rights, who were often harmed by the women we associate with the suffrage fight. Today we learn about six women who don't commonly make it into the histories we are taught regarding suffrage. These women fought from the margins, frequently at the risk of their own lives, but their influence reached far beyond those margins. They believed, deeply, in principles of equity and opportunity. They knew, from lived experience, that our collective liberation is bound up together. They sacrificed more than their share, they built more than they ever had access to themselves, our lives are truly better because of their work. Join us to learn more about Tye Leung Schulze, Ida B. Wells, Luisa Capetillo, Mary McLeod Bethune, Zitkála-Šá, and Fannie Lou Hamer.

Durante toda nuestra historia, en épocas de desigualdad, de poderìo enfermizo del estado, de machismo extremo y de pobreza intelectual, han surgido voces muy potentes, muy sólidas y con un poder de cambio a través de sus incansables luchas. Una de esas potentes voces, fue Luisa Capetillo, mujer muy recordada por la oralidad de los que la conocieron, pero muy poco por las generaciones recientes. Una mujer adelantada a su tiempo, pionera en la creación de pensamiento crítico sobre la igualdad de condiciones, la lucha obrera, la lucha contra la opresión y la lucha por lo justo. Escucha la fascinante historia de su vida a través de las narraciones de Vanesa y del boricua que tiene el pecho super hinchao, y nos llena de orgullo patrio al presentarnos lo grandes que los boricuas hemos sido a través de nuestra historia. Ese es Jesús Omar, el BORICUAZO.
