Many people said that April is the flowers month and precisely in this month was born one of the most authentic women of the Cuban history, who always was full of tenderness, affection and will.

Vilma Espin Guillot was born on April 7th, 1930 and from that date on her star shone so much like the stars from her Santiago; when she was a child she sang in the choirs from her school and when she was a young woman she participated in the different student protests that took place in the Santiago university, where Vilma consolidated her political and revolutionary maturity.

She went to the Sierra Maestra in the middle of those struggle times taking messages, fighting as any man and she fell in love of Raul Castro, to whom Vilma always had an smile in spite of that the time was not enough to attend the house, the family and the children.

She was the Vilma of all the Cuban women, who fought in the parliament, who participated in all the congresses and events where she work to unite wills and to look for the respect and the tolerance for whom were and are different people.

We dismiss Vilma of the life some time ago, but nowadays she continues in the combat, dressed in guerrilla because not even the death, the caprices and not even the time can extinguished the tremendous shine of this star that her tenderness was.
