what is truly inspiring about Adelina is her ability to go between two distinct societies in an era where racial tensions were high. She was able to use both her Hispana/Latina roots to her advantage while still maintaining her identity as an American woman. To add to this being a woman of power was also pivotal to our understanding of Adelina, she was a woman of color in power at a time when this was unheard of, add to this being an activist and you have a recipe for one of the most important female figures in New Mexico's history.
