Title: Voices of resistance
First published: 1999
Description: At the heart of Voices of Resistance are the testimonies of thirteen women who fought for human rights and social justice in their communities. Some played significant roles in the Cuban Revolution of 1959 that overthrew Batista, while others organized grassroots resistance to the seventeen-year Pinochet dictatorship in Chile.

Each woman's story helps break the silence of generations of marginalized Latin American women. The bond that these women have is not simply that they have suffered; they share a commitment to resisting violence and confronting inequities at great personal risk. Together, they represent a women's movement in Latin America that has the potential to reshape the region's political future.
