Librería La Tertulia announces the new book by José Luis Colón González, María Libertad Gómez: Mujer de convicción, líder de cambios [María Libertad Gómez—Woman of Conviction, Leader of Changes].

Description: María Libertad Gómez was a brave, determined, capable woman. She was a public servant who gave her life, like very few have done, to serve others, especially the less fortunate. The obstacles and prejudices she faced—for being portly, black, single, and from Utuado—far from discouraging her, motivated her to soldier on. This is her story.
