Women (feed) soldiers at camps and often (take) care of each others'children and (take) over male jobs such as farming. Women (pick) up guns as well, either to defend themselves while their men (be) off fighting somewhere else or because they (be)motivated to join one of the factions.

The classic Adelita is depicted with humble dress, rebozo (a long shawl), bandolier; and rifle. It's an image (make) famous by Mexican photographer Agustín Victor Casasola and others who (spend) years documenting the fighting for the national and international press. The image has some basis in reality as Adelitas (be) almost always poor and in rural areas, where fighting (be) heavy.
