"Includes 22 short essays, most related to culture and politics in Chile before, during, and after the Pinochet dictatorship; more than half previously published in English between 1990-95. Many treat questions of women's oppression and resistance to power. Several pieces are autobiographical in nature. Includes endnotes to many essays and translators' biographies. Translations all of high quality"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
