Adela, a striking figure in iLaCatrina’s collection, pays tribute to the valiant women of the Mexican Revolution, often referred to as Adelitas. These remarkable women defied societal expectations of their time, stepping into roles of strength, leadership, and sacrifice to fight for justice, freedom, and the future of their country. The Adela Catrina Icon symbolizes their courage, resilience, and unwavering patriotism.

At the heart of this tribute is Adela Velarde Pérez, born on September 8, 1900, in Chihuahua, México. At just fifteen years old, Adela joined the military and served as a nurse on the front lines of the revolution. With bravery and compassion, she cared for the wounded and stood alongside her fellow revolutionaries when called upon. Her dedication inspired generations, and the name Adelita came to honor all women who gave their lives and hearts to the revolutionary cause.

This Catrina honors the legacy of Adela Velarde and the thousands of women who helped shape the course of Mexican history. Her name carries the spirit of strength and devotion, forever linked to a movement that ushered in a new era for Mexico—alongside revolutionary leaders such as Pascual Orozco, Pancho Villa, Alvaro Obregón, and Emiliano Zapata.

Adela represents legacy, leadership, and the enduring spirit of women who stand at the center of change.
