Coyolxauhqui: A Potent Icon of Feminine Power
Xóchitl Flores-Marcial discusses the powerful symbolism of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui in El Árbol de la Muerte: Maquilando Mujeres. Once dismembered by her brother in Aztec mythology, Coyolxauhqui has become a symbol of strength and resilience for women across Latin America. Her image in El Arbol de la Muerte: Maquilando Mujeres embodies the enduring presence and power of women in society, underscoring their vital roles in communities and their ongoing struggle for visibility, dignity, and justice.
