First Lady of the Revolution

A Southern Belle's Journey through Love, Exile and Revolution in Costa Rica

This is the remarkable story of Henrietta Boggs, who fell in love with a foreign land and the man destined to transform its identity.

Her marriage to future President of Costa Rica Jose 'Don Pepe' Figueres in 1941 led to a decade-long journey through activism, exile and political upheaval and, ultimately, lasting progressive reforms.
