Cubans remember Vilma Espín's legacy 13 years after her death
Havana, June 18, 2020-- Cubans remember Vilma Espín, revolutionary fighter and defender of the full rights of women, on the thirteenth anniversary of her death on June 18, 2007.
Born on April 7, 1930 in the eastern province of Santigo de Cuba, into a family of high economic standing, Vilma defended dignity, emancipation, justice and equality during her entire life.
From a young age, she assumed revolutionary political positions, and actively participated in student demonstrations after the March 10, 1952 coup d'état by dictator Fulgencio Batista.
