Paquita la del Barrio is famous for her 'war on machismo' through singing songs such as Rata de dos Patas (two-legged rat) referring to a man as a rat. She was born in Veracruz with the name Francisca Viveros Barradas. She moved to Mexico City and made a name for herself from the 1970's on singing in the Bolero style of music, but with the twist of insulting males in her song lyrics.
