Women in Cuba: 20 Years Later
Margaret Randall
A first-hand account of how revolution has changed the situation
of Cuban women, by the U.S.-born poet whom the U.S. State
Dept. tried for years to deport.
"Margaret Randall is our leading interpreter of what
the Cuban Revolution means for women. These new essays are
on developments she is intimately concerned with in daycare,
education, the family, women in work, in political life, and
in art. This is an invaluable source!"
Joan Kelly, Professor of History, Center for
the Study of Women and Sex Roles, Graduate SchoolCity University
of New York
"An important book for the understanding of Cuban society
and for an analysis of women's roles in America as well."
Ruth Sidel, author of Women and Child Care in
China.
"Margaret Randall has done women in the United States a real
service...She offers concrete examples of how a society can
begin to marshal its resources to undermine centuries of female
subjugation."
Roberta Lynch
