Wonder Woman of the Week: Emma Tenayuca

I have written about a handful of labor and social activists on this blog. Few can compare to the big names like Susan B. Anthony and Gloria Steinem. This week’s spotlight though is an underappreciated name in the history of the United States. This labor activist was arrested for multiple strikes, fought for the rights of women and Hispanics, and is one of the most important figures of Texas state history. Emma Tenayuca is the Wonder Woman of the Week.
