Before reading this book, I knew very little (actually nothing) about the Zapatista women and the EZLN. This book is really well written and informative. The women's testimonies are insightful and spread hope that things can be changed. Hilary Klein tells the history of the movement, how the EZLN has encouraged women to participate, the difficulties encountered by women, how they have managed step by step to change things, etc. A book definitely worth reading and inspiring.
