Ángela Jiménez

Ángela Jiménez, alias Lieutenant Ángel (born 1886, Jalapa del Marqués) was a soldadera (woman fighter) during the Mexican Revolution.

Angela left the state of Oaxaca and fought in the center and north of the country with the villaistas and Zapatistas.

She joined the Mexican Revolution along with her father and reached the position of lieutenant even though her colleagues knew she was a woman.

It is believed that her revolutionary life was the model used by Elena Poniatowska to draw the character of Jesusa Palancares in "Hasta no verte Jesús mío [es]".
