Mirabal sisters/In the Time of Butterflies

I am preparing a book review for one of my classes. Could someone just answer two questions that I have about the Mirabal sisters? First, is true that the sisters had warnings from local people of the danger that was ahead if they continued traveling that evening in November? Second, I know that there is a museum, a mural in their honor, and a memorial where they were killed, but is the huge obelisk, "El macho" portraying them as well? I saw a photo of it in a tour guide, but no description of it followed. I need to know because I would like to show the class as many photos as possible.
Thank you!

Sorry, the painting was done in 1998 ,I think!
