Los abolicionistas en Puerto Rico & El papel histórico y social de la mujer en el Caribe hispánico con énfasis en Puerto Rico

Figueroa, Dra. Loida, “Los abolicionistas en Puerto Rico” & “El papel histórico y social de la mujer en el Caribe hispánico con énfasis en Puerto Rico”

Dra. Loida Figueroa: Por muchos años se distinguió como profesora de Historia en la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Mayagüez. Fue una de las primeras mujeres en escribir un libro sobre historia puertorriqueña. Su “Breve historia de Puerto Rico” se publicó en 1968 y fue reeditado en varias ocasiones. (…) En 1957 obtuvo una plaza de profesora en el Colegio de Agricultura y Artes Mecánicas (CAAM, luego UPR en Mayagüez), y comenzó a laborar en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales. En Mayagüez se integró al Comité del PIP. Conoció a Rafael Cancel Rodríguez, Santiago Mari, Lidia Barreto, Juan Mari Brás y otros; con ellos fue partidaria de transformaciones en el Partido. Sin embargo, la negación al cambio en el PIP, contribuyó a que Figueroa y los otros independentistas mencionados, entre otros, en 1959 fundaran el Movimiento Pro Independencia (MPI). Este movimiento desarrolló una campaña más combativa que el PIP y de crítica abierta al Gobierno.
