From the beginning of the republic, Cuban historians gathered and glorified national history in speeches before an academic audience. They mostly spoke of patriots and battles, but a basic element of Cuban national identity was martyrdom. Cuban patriots fought and died for a total of fourteen years. Their form of resistance was guerrilla warfare, and soldiers relied on women to fight, spy, run guns, and nurse the wounded and ill. Women died of malnutrition in the prison camps and in prisons. They sent their children to war. The national narrative used the manner by which women sacrificed their lives and those of their family members to signify the ultimate rendering of the Cuban soul for freedom. The speeches given in academic setting 50 years after Cuba was independent from Spain retained the passion of the independence and molded images of female martyrs into the official historical record. These are only a few of those speeches delivered in the 1950s.
