While a new US-backed government promises modernity and progress, women's daily lives remain defined by rigid norms, religious expectations, and almost absolute control over their bodies and decisions.María, Fernanda, Yolanda, Rosa, and Chavela fight for something that seems simple but is revolutionary: the possibility of choosing. Choosing whether to marry or not, whether to be mothers or not, whether to work, love, study, or stay home. At that same historical moment, Dr. Gregory Pincus is on the verge of perfecting what would be heralded as a scientific "miracle": the contraceptive pill. But to achieve this, he needs women willing to participate in preliminary trials.The novel explores the intersection of science, politics, and power. What for some was a medical breakthrough, for others meant physical risk, exploitation, and silence. Puerto Rican women became the invisible protagonists of an experiment that would change the world.With a human and critical eye, Las Borinqueñas reveals the complexity of that historical moment: the tension between tradition and imposed modernity, between the promise of freedom and colonial control. It is a story about bodily autonomy, dignity, and the high price many paid so that future generations could decide about their own lives.More than a historical work, it is a timely reflection on who controls women's bodies—and who writes the narrative of progress. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cleveland/las-borinqueñas-by-nelson-diaz-marcano-directed-by-monica-torres/100001986808774528 - **Event Categories**: science-fair - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 12+ - Duration: 21 hours 30 minutes - Location: LatinUs Theater - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 33.85, max: 33.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Cleveland - **state**: OH - **country**: United States - **location**: LatinUs Theater - **lat**: 41.4721495 - **long**: -81.6990806 - **full address**: LatinUs Theater, 2937 West 25th Street, Cleveland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Las Borinqueñas by Nelson Diaz Marcano, directed by Monica Torres - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/0196d16398fc096018d43461d4a5173a697174152062dd287e620f122dff319b-rimg-w1200-h927-dc191302-gmir.jpg?v=1775568049 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Las Borinquenas by Nelson Diaz Marcano, directed by Monica Torres being held? - **A:** Las Borinquenas by Nelson Diaz Marcano, directed by Monica Torres takes place on Fri, 19 Feb, 2027 at 07:30 pm to Sun, 07 Mar, 2027 at 05:00 pm at LatinUs Theater, 2937 West 25th Street, Cleveland, United States. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Las Borinquenas by Nelson Diaz Marcano, directed by Monica Torres? - **A:** Las Borinquenas by Nelson Diaz Marcano, directed by Monica Torres is strictly for guests aged 12 and above.
