Quotes
Claudia Sheinbaum
Mexico's first woman president
“I like that she spoke up when she felt that was an injustice and that is an example. That thing they said about being prettier when you’re quiet has been left behind. Women are prettier when we speak and we participate.”

Patricia Bustamente
A 72-year-old retiree in Mexico City
“How good that she didn't let it slide and how good that she fought to stay there. Mexican women used to be 'submissive.' She called Bosch 'very brave.'”
