Andrea Villarreal (1881–1963) was a Mexican revolutionary, journalist and feminist. Often referred to in the press as the Mexican Joan of Arc.
She gave her vocal support to the liberal-radical Partido Liberal Mexicano (PLM) opposing the dictatorship of President Porfirio DÃaz (1876–1911), during the Mexican Revolution of 1910–1917.
She was originally from Coahuila, Mexico, but was forced to flee with her sister Teresa to the U.S. state of Texas where she published two newsapers from exile in San Antonio, the feminist newspaper La Mujer Moderna (The Modern Woman, 1910) and the revolutionary El Obrero (The Worker).
She died in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
