La Adelita "La Adelita" is one of the most famous "corridos" (folk songs) of the "Mexican Revolution" (1910-1920) that has been adapted in various forms. This particular version of the ballad (which is also shown in the form of a portrait) was inspired by a Durangan woman (whose identity has not been yet established beyond doubt) who joined the Maderista movement (the revolutionary party led by Francisco I. Madero) at an early stage of the Revolution, and supposedly fell in love with Madero, her revolutionary leader. Consequently, this popular icon became the source that documented the role of women in the Mexican Revolution, and gradually became synonymous with the term "soldadera" or "female soldier" who became a vital force in the revolutionary war efforts due to their participation in the battles against Mexican government forces."
