"These thousands of women give us an image of loyalty, sincerity, strength, bravery and patience. All of them, famous and unknown, have our eternal respect and admiration." "Like their illustrious predecessors, they were mothers, wives, sisters... They had black, gray, blond hair... They were teachers, merchants, housewives...
