Luisa was a brave girl from Puerto Rico who, ever since she was young, fought for what she believed was right and defended women's rights. She lived in a time when women had to wear skirts, even though they were often uncomfortable and did not allow them to move freely. Luisa decided to change things, becoming one of the first women to wear pants in public!

Reviews for Los pantalones de Luisa

Isern strikes a good balance between historical fact and a kid-friendly narrative about a spunky girl who just wants the freedom to move and play and make her own decisions. The colorful pencil-like illustrations add to the celebratory and cheerful feel of the text and recall Capetillo’s tropical homeland.– School Library Journal.
