TEOTITLAN, OAXACA, MEXICO - JULY 5: Edith Guitierrez Ruiz, 15, poses for a portrait on the day of her quinceaÃ±era. QuinceaÃ±eras, which celebrate a young woman's fifteenth birthday and her entrÃ©e into womanhood, are one of the most important ceremonies a young woman will participate in, other than her wedding. Indeed, as this event serves as a debut, it is not uncommon that a young woman will be married within a few years of her quinceaÃ±era. Photo by Sara Naomi Lewkowicz/Getty Images Reportage
