Tamara remembers that moment.

It is not every day that one is lucky enough to be in the presence of a living history. That is what happened to me on January 28th when I participated in the meeting held by the national, provincial and Matanzas municipal Federation of Cuban Women (FMC) with several generations of federates. During the meeting, 28 young women who had reached the age of 14 were given their membership cards.

One of the speakers was Tamara Silvia Columbié Matos, a woman who has dedicated 50 years of her life to the Federation of Cuban Women, who was very close to Vilma Espín Guillois and her projects for the benefit of women. Tamara, together with another young graduate of the Law School of the University of Havana, were called to work in the women’s organization.

Precisely, one of the first works carried out by her and her companion was linked to an investigation in the province of Matanzas, where the institutionalization of the country had begun with the People’s Power, territory where the piloting of that experience began.

When the Poder Popular was created in Matanzas, only three percent of women were nominated as delegates. This figure worried Fidel, who informed Vilma of the need to carry out an investigation to determine the causes of the low rate. It is there where Tamara and her companion, at the request of Vilma, who was the one who led the investigation, were linked to Matanzas.

In these 50 years in the WBF National Directorate, Tamara has held various responsibilities, including some of an international nature.
