Caritina Piña (1895 in Ocampo - 1981) was a Mexican anarcho-syndicalist and anarcha-feminist activist. A notable anarchist from the Gulf of Mexico region, she was associated with Librado Rivera. She is credited as one of the first modern feminists in Mexican history.
Her legacy, which quickly faded into obscurity after her death, was rediscovered in the 21st century, notably thanks to the work of historian Sonia Hernandez.
Caritina Piña Montalvo[1] was born in 1895 in Ocampo,[2] in the state of Tamaulipas.[3] Her father was a general in the Mexican army and served the regime of Porfirio Díaz. From the late 1910s, she advocated for the freedom of political prisoners.[4] Additionally, she embraced anarcho-syndicalism.
Piña was one of the country's first feminists; she was actively involved in the anarchist and feminist movements in Mexico. Her personal journey allowed her to build connections across various groups, cultures, and social classes.[5] She took on a leadership role within her group during the 1920s and 1930s.[6] She was connected with other figures of the Mexican anarchist movement, such as Librado Rivera.
