Dolores
Dolores Huerta defied female norms in the 1950s by forming the country's first farm worker's union with Cesar Chavez, a fellow organizer. What starts out as a campaign for racial and labor justice quickly transforms into a fight for gender equality inside the same union she is eventually forced to leave as a result of her actions. Even as she struggles with the challenges of raising 11 children and three marriages, and even as she is nearly killed by members of a San Francisco tactical police unit, Dolores comes to terms with a vision that combines her newly discovered feminism with racial and class justice.
