Notable Historical Female Speeches
Details about transcripts or recordings of famous, and less famous, speeches regarding women's rights and women's equality, throughout history in the US and Canada, have been provided in the attached spreadsheet. Although we found various sources on Latina women's rights activists in the past 75+ years, we were unable to uncover information on their famous, or less famous speeches. Examples of such activists include María Jesús Alvarado Rivera (1878 –1971, Peru), Dolores Cacuango (1881 – 1971, Ecuador), María Teresa Ferrari (1887- 1956, Argentina), and Julia de Burgos (1914 –1953, Puerto Rico).
