The Federation of Cuban Women: Feminism Went into a Tailspin
"And may there not be a single place in Cuba where the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC) is not constituted, and not a single revolutionary woman who is not a member of the Federation of Cuban Women," Fidel Castro said on August 23, 1960.
On March 8, 2013, at the IX Congress of the FMC, José Ramón Machado Ventura stated that if Fidel's idea of creating the FMC was brilliant, timely and truly forward-thinking, "so was his wise decision to put Vilma Espín Guillois at the head of the nascent women's organization."
