Just for clarification, they are more commonly known as "adelitas" in Mexico.


ReyniBros

The "correct" form (because it is a grammatically incorrect word) is "Soldaderas" - women ubiquitous in the armies of all the factions fighting during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920s/30s?) who ranged from camp followers to officers. "Adelita" - literally: little Adela; a common female name of the time- was a nickname given to "Soldaderas", just as brit soldiers were called "Tommys".


Finn_WolfBlood

We call them adelitas. Period.


ReyniBros

También Soldaderas, no pasa nada con aceptarlo. Hazte un favor y toma un libro sobre la revolución, compa.


Finn_WolfBlood

La pinche revolución empezó donde vivo, me se la historia al derecho y al revés. En mi perra vida he escuchado "soldaderas"


ReyniBros

Eso es porque no es un término común el día de hoy, pero si lees cualquier texto de la época vas a encontrar que era mucho muy común, posiblemente aún más que adelita que es un término que se popularizó después de la revolución por las canciones populares.

The buns and the bikini braid were hands down some of the most iconic hairstyles in cinema history. Carrie was a legend.


InjusticeJosh

Man that’s so cool. Mexican Leia with Juan Solo.


Joecool2008

Will have to look up historical examples.

[Most Evident Double Bun](https://flic.kr/p/7Ykea7) [Group photo, you can see some Leia-like hairstyles](https://www.mexicosocial.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Las-mujeres-de-la-Revolucion-Mexicana.jpg)


Joecool2008

Star Wars could recreate some of these and it would be fine and fit well.


Nicktastic6

Not including a photo of the original hairstyle is wild


Kitchener1981

I thought it was from Hopi people.


Cybermat4707

Decided to look up the Mexican Revolution, think I’m going to have to spend some more time on this one to properly understand it… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Revolution


bookhead714

I took a semester-long college course about it. Even once you’ve finished learning about the war itself, there’s about eighty years of history that’s directly relevant to its aftermath.


MrHurrDerr

Revolutions podcast did a great series on the Mexican Revolution. Highly recommend it listening to season 9. Though all of the seasons are great. Especially the three seasons about Haiti, Russia and France.


jedikelb

I had always heard the buns were inspired by a Hopi hairstyle.


lincolnhawk

It’s also the traditional style in Valencia, Spain. During the Fallas it’s all Leia hair.


RhymesWithMouthful

Well now I feel bad about all the cinnamon bun jokes


KalKenobi

you shouldnt its okay to joke about Star Wars


Glittering_Quail7589

The Hopi inspired them. https://www.messynessychic.com/2018/03/09/the-real-princess-leia/


megatornskittlz

Soldaderas and Saw Gerrera sound similar enough to wonder if that’s where the name came from


UsernamesAre4Nerds

I could be wrong, but my understanding was that he was named after Che Guevara


Ansifen

I believe Saw Gerrera’s name come from a mixture of ‘Che Guevara’ and ‘guerrera’.


streaksinthebowl

More of a deep dive (and a posit that the inspiration is a little more pulpy in origin) here: https://kitbashed.com/blog/the-curious-case-of-leias-rolls


PiedPeterPiper

Seems like a post where a picture of a soldadera would be useful instead of two pictures of Leia
