Listen Later

El 28 de enero de 1917, Carmelita Torres, de diecisiete años, se negó a bajarse del tranvía en el puente de Santa Fe y seguir a los funcionarios de salud estadounidenses hasta un baño químico. 30 mujeres la siguieron. Pronto, esas 30 se convirtieron en cientas y luego en miles. Esto se llamaría "los motines de los banos" y duró 2 días. Los periódicos se referían a las mujeres como amazonas y llamaban a Carmelita Torres la amazona pelirroja. No se sabe mucho sobre ella, pero inspiró a miles.

En este episodio, Cristina le cuenta a Carmen sobro Carmelita Torres y la practica de banos quimicos en la frontera.
