T
he exhibition centers on women of the Mexican
Revolutionary Period and how their actions shaped
the Texas-Mexico borderland. Through paintings,
restored historic photographs, artifacts and period
costumes and oral histories and family memories
of contemporary women who recall what their
grandmothers and great grandmothers were doing
during the tumultuous period from 1910 to 1917
when so many women were either enlisted in the cause
or sought refuge from the revolution in Texas. Their
actions changed the course of history and culture on
both sides of the border.

T
hese paintings will celebrate women who have broken new
ground, pushed the envelope, taken on non-traditional
roles, made a difference in the world, or who have inspired
other women to do so. Women as catalysts of change. Women
as breakers of molds. To that end, we have selected a core of
revolutionary figures, pre-revolutionary women who were their
antecedents and contemporary women who are their spiritual
daughters.
