At the same time that the celebrated Bauhaus, under the direction of Walter Gropius, kept women away from the main disciplines of architecture, sculpture, and painting, in the factories of Puerto Rico a radical model of education was developed with much less fanfare. While initially performed exclusively by men, the practice of education was eventually led by Luisa Capetillo, a feminist anarcho-syndicalist arrested for wearing pants in public. In addition to writing fiction depicting feminist and workers’ utopias, Capetillo extended the practice of mutual aid and loudreading in the tobacco factories, through the operation of a boarding house and a restaurant.
