description: Haydée Santamaría first achieved notoriety by being one of two women who participated in the armed attack by a group of young activists led by Fidel Castro that sparked the Cuban Revolution. She was captured and horrifically tortured but on her release joined the underground movement against the Batista dictatorship. Later, as director of the world-renowned literary institution Casa de las Americas, Haydée embraced culture as a tool for social change and provided refuge for exiled Latin American artists and intellectuals.
