There are many incredible people who tend to be glossed over in the history books. For example, Henrietta Lacks, Ada Lovelace, and Rosalind Franklin were mistreated, taken advantage of, scoffed at, and all but forgotten by history. What many of these people have in common is that they aren’t powerful white men. Women and non-Caucasians tend to be overlooked in the retelling of mankind, in favor of giving credence to their white male counterparts. One such woman is Sacagawea, a Sashone woman who bravely accompanied Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition as a translator, negotiator, and guide, all the while with a baby on her back. Many loosely associate her name with the U.S. gold dollar coin, but few know her story.

everyone knows it. When he is drunk, everybody respects him; and when he is sober, they all imitate him” (171). The female verse ends with a repetition of this line, portraying the soldadera as defined by her husband and her loyalty to him even in a song that’s supposed to focus on her importance and role in the war. Parallelly, the male verse begins by stating the unwavering loyalty that a husband’s wife gives him, stating, “I have my Juana, my Juana comes with me, and the campaign is going to begin” (171). The folk songs of the Mexican Revolution accentuate and hyperfixate on a woman’s loyalty to a man, which comes to dominate her narrative.

Exile: when one is sent away from their native country for political reasons. Many cruel dictators were sent to exile after what they did to their country and Juan Perón is one of them. Perón helped with a successful military coup that put him into power in the first place. Despite being anti-communist and fascist, he had the support of the Nazi troops. He supported the working class, even though he supported labor of the poorer classes.
