Let me speak!

"The author is the courageous wife of a Bolivian tin miner. Social and economic deprivation drove her to pro-Marxist political action as a leader of a Housewives' Committee, dedicated to improving miners' and peasants conditions. This is a vivid account of her activities and brutal imprisonment, accompanied by her observations on the clergy, military, and upper-class abandonment of Bolivia's repressed poor... This is a remarkably articulate report with astute political commentary... an important social document from a usually silent group."
