Las Magineras' story is one that must be heard and, now that Cuba is so frequently in the news, should be of interest to anyone planning on visiting the Island or who simply wants to know how the true spirit of the Cuban Revolution lives on in a group of women determined to bring a gender analysis into its equation of social change. I recommend this important book to specialists in Latin America and the Caribbean, feminists, travelers, and those who simply love a good story.”

It contains important lessons and inspiration for all of those interested in working for gender justice and equality today.”

Magineras' powerful storytelling about feminism in Cuba is an essential contribution to our knowledge of Cuban women who impacted Cuba's Revolution during the 1990's Special Period. Their story remains relevant today. A must-read!”

Their short-lived collaboration, the process itself, led to their life-long empowerment and provides us with vital reminders for engagement anytime, anywhere.”
