María Talavera Broussé

María Talavera Broussé (1867–1947, also known as María Broussé, María Talavera, or María B. Magón), was a Mexican-born activist who became one of the leaders of the Mexican Liberal Party in the United States. She is known for upholding unity within the party in the United States during gaps when fellow party members Ricardo Flores Magón and brother Enrique Flores Magón were in prison.

Even though Broussé never married, after living in the United States for some time, she gave birth to daughter Lucía Norman. While in Los Angeles, Broussé became affiliated in 1906 with the Club Liberal Reform of Liberty and Justice in Los Angeles. A year after her involvement in this group, Broussé joined the United States-based movement for liberation called the Mexican Liberal Party (; PLM). After working alongside its members and publishing a series of articles via the Mexican Liberal Party's newspaper titled Regeneración, Broussé encountered various instances of persecution by the United States government. Despite her attempt to promote this 1908 revolt, the Diaz government of Mexico found out about the plan and soon enough, it was published throughout various Mexican newspapers. Another instance in which Broussé and Flores Magón's correspondence dictates the party's efforts is in the development of the Mexican Liberal Party's (Partido Liberal Mexicano) attempt at a newspaper titled, The Border. Broussé was known to take these articles to Flores Magón while he was in prison, seek his approval, and then return to the party with Ricardo's suggestions. Via Flores Magón's letters, Broussé was also warned about potential threats to the party's cause. This concern manifested itself in the form of spies or infiltrators, whom Ricardo had an intuition about. During various instances, Flores Magón advised Broussé to not disclose the party's plan with a certain individual due to security issues.

Personal life There is little information on Broussé's relationship with the biological father of her only daughter, Lucía Norman. The only individual with whom Broussé is known to have a long-term relationship with is Ricardo Flores Magón. Despite her prolonged partnership with Flores Magón, Broussé never married as a result of her party's anarchist ideas in which marriage was seen as a patriarchial institution. This type of free relationship was seen as controversial at the time, moreover since Broussé would sign with Ricardo's last name, especially after his death in 1922. In terms of legacy, via the Regeneración archives, Broussé is remembered as an individual with strong roots in the organization of the party. Moreover, as someone who organized movements or meetings in cases where Ricardo Flores Magón was absent.
