Mirabal

Sisters
Leslie Paola Bidó Rojas 2021-1915
 The Mirabal sisters, also known as Las Mirabal or Butterflies, were
three Dominican sisters who opposed the dictatorship of Rafael
Leónidas Trujillo. Patria, Minerva and María Teresa Mirabal were
murdered on November 25, 1960. A fourth sister, Belgium Adela
"Dedé" Mirabal, did not play an active role in the activities against the
dictator. The older sister, Patria, did not have the same level of
political activity as her other sisters, but supported them; she even
lent her house to store weapons and tools from the insurgents.
