Compiled in this document are brief biographical sketches of over sixty Puerto Rican women who have made significant contributions to society. Meant to serve as role models for young men and women, and to raise the consciousness of people about the merits and character of the Puerto Rican woman, these sketches present aspects of the imprints these historical and contemporary women have made in the fields of education, the arts, literature, politics, and social change in both Puerto Rico and the United States.
