Known as Las Mariposas, Las Hermanas Mirabal were four sisters from the Dominican Republic, three of whom (Patria, Minerva and María Teresa).

The Hermanas Mirabal were three elite sisters who were killed on November 25, , in the Dominican Republic because they opposed Rafael Trujillo's.

There were four Mirabal sisters — Patria, Dedé, Minerva, and María Teresa — who were born and raised in the quiet town of Ojo de Agua, Dominican.

The Dominican narrative is the fictional biography Las Mirabal (), by Ramón Alberto Ferreras, who was an anti-Trujillo leader.

Obsessively controlled by cruel dictator Rafael Trujillo &#; a man for whom no slight was too small, no grudge too big &#; the nation&#;s citizens quickly grew fearful of expressing any dissent. It was not until a group of sisters slapped Trujillo in the face (both literally and figuratively) that the nation finally found the courage to follow their example and oust the despot.

These women were the Mirabal sisters.

And they willingly gave their lives to end Trujillo&#;s.

The Mirabals were from a relatively well-to-do provincial family. The sisters &#; Minerva, Patria, Maria Teresa, and Dede &#; all went to Catholic boarding school, married good men, had children, went to church&#; in short, not obvious candidates for revolutionaries.

But Trujillo was a true monster.

He used his secret police and extensive spy network to keep the nation&#;s eyes open
