Portrait of the Puerto Rican nationalist who led an attack on the United States House of Representatives in 1954, shouting "¡Viva Puerto Rico Libre!" ("Long live a Free Puerto Rico!") as she fired a pistol at the ceiling. After serving 25 years in prison, she was pardoned by President Carter in 1979. She continued to advocate for Puerto Rican independence until her death in 2010. One in OCLC, at a library in the Netherlands; none traced at auction.
