In the slight body of Consuelo Alfonso Serrano, the first militancy of a woman in the 26 de Julio Movement was nested. Her smooth gestures contrast with her way of talking. It seems that she fears that she will not have enough time to count with astonishing naturalness all that she has experienced that makes her life extraordinary.

However, it was difficult for Consuelo Alfonso to accede to the meeting, much less giving an interview. But as a good Cuban, she preferred to talk before the infallible argument that her experiences could serve to know the history of the homeland that she loves so much.

While Consuelo was talking, without abandoning her proverbial modesty and her amusing gesture, she repeated more than once that she had never been afraid, an action is worth a thousand words and her actions give faith of her clandestine activity.

She suffered by the betrayal of a supposed friend during the preparations for the strike of April 9, she firmly confronted the registrations of Batista's assassins, her companions entrusted him with the greatest secrets.

Of what wood would this woman of such fragile appearance be made that even the husband did not know the details of her revolutionary activities?

The emotion of Consuelo, her sobs and the trembling of her slight body prevent us from knowing more about this woman without fears, the only one of the 26th of July Movement in Batabano's lands.
