At age 91, Dolores Huerta has spent most of her life as a political activist, fighting for better working conditions for farmworkers and women’s rights. Her role in the farmworkers movement has long been overshadowed by that of Cesar Chavez, her longtime collaborator and co-founder of what became the United Farm Workers of America union.
