Dedé Mirabal
Dedé Mirabal, born on March 1, 1923, was the last surviving sister of the Mirabal sisters, who were key figures in the resistance against the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. After the tragic assassination of her sisters—Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa—in 1960, Dedé dedicated her life to preserving their memory and legacy, becoming an advocate for women's rights and social justice. She played a crucial role in establishing the Casa Museo Hermanas Mirabal, a memorial that honors the courage of her sisters and serves as a reminder of the fight against oppression.
