A great poetry collection where readers will ponder the political action of women in war and other roles women attain. I read this as part of my comps list because she does deal with women in war. Particularly, Zamora puts names to revolutionary acts as it's still easy for women to slip through the cracks in patriarchal societies despite their heroic deeds. I do not speak or read Spanish so my experience of reading comes through the English translations printed on the opposite page as Spanish. The English translation was good. Straight-forward, very easy to grasp. I'm betting the Spanish is much better.

I loved this collection of powerful but tender poetry about women in rebellion/revolution.
