This Spanish-language poster promotes the Luisa Amanda Espinoza Association of Nicaraguan Women (AMNLAE). Originally founded in 1977 as the Association of Women Concerned about the National Crisis (Asociación de Mujeres ante la Problemática Nacional, AMPRONAC), the organization emerged in opposition to the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza Debayle. Its mission was to promote women’s participation across all areas of society and to advance women’s rights and social status. The group was later renamed in honor of Luisa Amanda Espinoza, the first woman to die in the armed struggle against the Somoza regime.
