Women Against Marcos: Stories of Filipino and Filipino American Women Who Fought A Dictator

"Women played a central role in the struggle against the Marcos dictatorship that ruled the Philippines for 14 bloody years, from 1972 to 1986. From the underground in Manila to the streets of Seattle, their participation in an international struggle was marked by courage, sacrifice, and suffering. In this moving contribution to the literature on the Philippine resistance by anti-martial law feminist activist Mila de Guzman, several of these unsung heroines relate their poignant accounts about how they fulfilled their appointments with history."

-- Walden Bello, former Member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines and Adjunct Professor at the State University of New York at Binghamton.
