Cropped Images

As historian Laura Addison notes, many cropped versions of photographs became well-known during the Mexican Revolution—often more well-known than their original versions.[1] The sub-pages of this topic describe three examples of cropped photos of soldaderas, all of which serve the same basic functions: to promote the imagery of an individual soldadera motivated by her love for her soldier or her country and to emphasize the scarcity of the female presence in a militarized space.
