The non-profit organization Taller Salud has transcended internal and external crises that have allowed it to strengthen and take root in this coastal municipality and, in turn, sow new seeds in Latin America and around the Island. Review of historical material, face-to-face research and a series of 20 testimonies from participants, witnesses and active members of the Taller Salud work team tell us the journey through a fundamental fragment of the history of Puerto Rican feminism.
