Source continuity: this live episode uses the existing local BoricuaReceipts posting/source packets listed below.

## Public Title

`Los pantalones también eran protesta`

## Source-Safe Thesis

Luisa Capetillo used public space, labor organizing, writing, and the pants arrest story to make gender rules visible as power.

## Receipt Spine

- The Senado de Puerto Rico identifies Luisa Capetillo Perón as a labor leader, feminist, and writer from Arecibo.
- The source trail connects her needle-industry work, cigar-factory reading, labor organizing, suffrage advocacy, and published writing.
- The pants/arrest story is framed as a public-space and law/culture receipt, not just fashion trivia.

## Guardrails

- Do not flatten Capetillo into only the pants arrest.
- Use careful wording: Senado carries the key public claims, including the Cuba arrest/release story.
- Do not claim she was the first feminist in Puerto Rico unless a source says exactly that.
