"Escaramuza, meaning skirmish, is an all-female sport within charreria, Mexico's equivalent of rodeo, showcasing choreographed equestrian dances rooted in historical narratives of female soldiers."
"Women officially gained the right to compete in charreria in 1953, coinciding with their right to vote, marking a pivotal change in Mexico's cultural landscape."
"Today, escaramuzas, riding side saddle and performing at speed, honor the legacy of the adelitas by embodying strength, discipline, and pride through their equestrian skills."
"In Jurupa Valley, California, the next generation of escaramuzas not only engages in a competitive sport but also nurtures a connection with their historical roots and cultural identity."
