Women, youth, and direct democracy

Two days ago, I just finished reading a book entitled "Taking back the streets: Women, youth, and direct democracy" by Temma Kaplan. It's a truly fantastic book! There is so much that I don't know about Latin/Central America (ex. Chile and Argentia, as well as Spain) and its history. Reading the accounts of women who suffered so much under their military juntas was disturbing, profound, and inspiring...Women who have endured pain (i.e. torture, family members killed and "dissappeared"), yet found a way to organize with other women and youths to fight for democracy and social justice.

I truly believe that women can change the world and they can make this world more peaceful and a better place to live!

I definitely recommend this book to everyone! Be inspired by these women!
