- Visiting an aunt and uncle in the exotic countryside of Costa Rica, a young southern belle from Alabama accepted a ride on the back of a motorcycle belonging to a local charismatic farmer. That ride would propel her into history. First Lady of the Revolution is the remarkable story of Henrietta Boggs, who fell in love with a foreign land and the man destined to transform its identity. Their marriage was a decade-long adventure through political activism, arrest, a harrowing escape and two years in exile. It would culminate in civil war and political upheaval as Jose "Don Pepe" Figueres led a revolution to liberate his country from a corrupt dictatorship. In 1948, he became President, and ushered in unprecedented reforms, abolishing the army, expanding the vote to women and indigenous populations, guaranteeing education and bringing an enduring democracy to his beloved country. Henrietta Boggs became the first lady of Costa Rica.
