Presidential Daughter. Porfirio Díaz, before being President of Mexico, had a relationship with a 'soldadera,' Rafaela Quiñones, during the war of the French Intervention, which resulted in the birth of Amada Díaz Quiñones, whom he recognized. In 1879, she went to live in the home of Porfirio Díaz and his first wife Delfina Ortega. In 1880 Porfirio Díaz was widowed and the following year he remarried Carmen Romero Rubio, the 17-year-old daughter of his most important advisor, Manuel Romero Rubio, who became friends with Amada. Amada Díaz had two suitors, Fernando González Mantecón, son of former President Manuel González, and Ignacio de la Torre y Mier, a member of a wealthy family. De la Torre was said to have been present at the 1901 'Dance of the Forty-One,' a gathering of gay men and cross-dressers that was raided by police. Amada married Ignacio in 1888, and in 1892, they moved into a mansion that he had built, but the couple had no children. In 1911, after Porfirio Díaz resigned as president, Amada and her husband accompanied Díaz and his family to the San Lázaro platform to take their train to Veracruz, and from there they went into exile. The De la Torre-Díaz couple remained in the city. Later, Ignacio de la Torre y Mier was taken prisoner, by order of Venustiano Carranza, for being an alleged accomplice in the murder of Francisco I. Madero and José María Pino Suárez. Amada went to visit him every day until Emiliano Zapata took him as his personal prisoner and took him wherever he went. In 1913, Amada visited her father in Europe, from whom she had been receiving letters and continued to receive them until 1915, when he passed away. At the end of 1917, De la Torre was released and left the country for New York, dying the following year and leaving Amada with many debts, for which she had to sell her properties to pay them off. In later times, the Carrancistas returned some of her properties. There is a book entitled "El Álbum de Amada Díaz," written by Ricardo Orozco, where he tells how she survived economic and personal conflicts and how his days were until she died on August 22, 1962. Likewise, her life has also appeared in film and television.
