Question

One thing I refuse to do is keep quiet. The women of my generation in Latin America have been instructed that the woman should be submissive to the man, even when faced with injustices . . . Now, I understand that we need to speak out about inequalities openly. If we fail to do this we are coconspirators. I will condemn the military government openly and freely without fear. That is what I have learned.
