description Hopes that the Mexican Revolution would put an end to dictatorship and bring justice for workers and peasants died young. Many researchers have suggested the presidential elections of 1940 were the point of no return. Few have connected the two deaths that occurred that year, however: radicalism -in Francisco J. Múgica’s failed candidacy- and suffragism -in the quiet disappearance of a constitutional amendment-. This article examines the brief period in the early 1939 when two things still seemed possible: Múgica could be the next president of Mexico and women would vote in the election. Based on these twin assumptions, Carolina Escudero Luján, Múgica’s secretary and future wife, organized a national electoral campaign aimed at women promoting Múgica’s candidacy. Looking at the two failures side-by-side allows us to see how mugiquismo and women’s suffrage were two sides of the same coin. We see how and when the radical potential of the Mexican Revolution died.
