Andrea Evangelina Rodriguez Perozo emerged as a pivotal healthcare advocate in the Dominican Republic during the late 1920s, focusing on radical health and women's rights issues. Her dedication led her to run a maternity clinic and free milk distributions for marginalized groups. However, her conflict with dictator Trujillo's regime ultimately left her isolated and suffering from mental health issues, showcasing the personal toll of her unwavering commitment to her ideals amidst political turmoil.
"Despite facing criticism for her more radical ideas on family planning and treating sex workers, Evangelina continues to pursue her life's work, overseeing a maternity clinic that welcomes all women."
"She is known as a woman dedicated to her service through medicine. That's where she found a way to serve the country she loved so much."
