Many women participated in the Mexican Revolution and were erased from history. Their names do not appear as the heroines they were, alongside the most important leaders of the heroic deed. As ideologues, they played an important role from their trench of activists, teachers, journalists and messengers. The documentary brings names like Carmen Serdán, Hermila Galindo, Dolores Jiménez Muro, Elvia Carrillo Puerto, Elena Arizmendi, Sara Pérez de Madero, to the front and recognizes their value in the formation of a nation.
