Description
Summary:Margaret Randall brings Rita Valdivia, a Bolivian poet and revolutionary who followed in Che Guevara's footsteps and died in combat in 1969 at the age of 23, to an American readership for the first time. Rita was one of thousands of women involved in Latin America's liberation struggles throughout the 1970s and '80s. Most have been ignored by historians. On the 50th anniversary of Guevara's death, we honor them all by telling Rita's story and presenting her poems on bilingual facing page texts.
