ITEM OVERVIEW
First published in 1978, this is a classic piece of working class oral history. "The author is a 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." -Library Journal
