“Casco antigüo” (old quarters) of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Minerva became a lawyer and, following in her uncle’s footsteps, got involved in the political movement against Trujillo. She and Trujillo met once, in 1949 at the San Cristobal celebration. The story goes that the dictator tried to seduce Minerva, but she rebuffed his advances. Trujillo never forgot or forgave the snub.
