Día de la Revolución Mexicana

Girls march through the streets of Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico, during the 2014 Revolution Day parade. Carrying baby dolls on their backs the old-fashioned way with rebozos, they represent the famous adelitas, women of the Mexican Revolution.

Thousands of women were adelitas during the course of the war and about 200 saw combat.

Groups from elementary schools make up much of the parade. Some are dressed as adelitas and carry wooden rifles with bandoliers.
