“Exhaustively researched, meticulously presented, and utterly
fascinating.” – Midwest Book Review
"Her study of 16 nationalist women opens windows to broader
questions about the existing historiography on women, men and
Puerto Rican history. It not only corrects what was missing and
overlooked, but also raises new questions for research. For
example, Nationalist Heroines reveals with striking clarity the
degree to which women described their political motivations in
religious terms....
Her work, therefore, serves an important role in filling a
significant gap in the historiography of Puerto Rico and the
nationalist movement. But more than informing us of what we didn’t
know, it also challenges our understanding of the way we have
understood the existing historical narrative." - Centro Journal
