La Adelita is a symbol of action and inspiration. She dreams of freedom, justice, and equality. She presents herself in her dream as a proud and inspiring warrior, but also maintains her feminine side with lighter colors and attire. Though she is a figure from the Mexican Revolution, her relevance endures as women are all still facing uncertain times today. Women who struggle for their rights balance their responsibilities to family, children, and themselves, against the overwhelming desire to change the world for the better. The modern-day Warrioress battles on many fronts, fighting for their rights, family, community, and Mother Earth.
