"Atentado a las maestras rurales [Attack on the rural teachers]" (1936) by Aurora Reyes Flores

Illustrated above is a woman being taken from her children as the title shows, an attack on rural teachers. This was made to portray how capitalism was the root of brutality in Mexico and how things like education and the youth, were being betrayed. Here you can see a book being torn while the woman is dragged unwillingly. The children watch on from a hidden place and in the center, a gun is being held by a faceless man to portray the larger picture of violence being spread throughout Mexico.

"La Novia de Oro [Gold Bride]" (1955) by Aurora Reyes Flores

Aurora Reyes’s family was forced into poverty in 1913 as they fled their home following the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). She began taking classes at la Escuela Preparatoria Nacional in 1921, but was quickly expelled after fighting with another student over her family’s political connections to Diego Rivera and communism. She would fearlessly defend her politics throughout her life as she continued to advocate for the rights of women, the working class and the poor in post-revolutionary Mexico.
