Brigadier General Tete Puebla, the highest-ranking woman in Cubas Revolutionary Armed Forces, joined the struggle to overthrow the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1956, when she was fifteen years old. This is her story-from clandestine action in the cities, to serving as an officer in the victorious Rebel Armys first all-womens unit-the Mariana Grajales Womens Platoon. For nearly fifty years, the fight to transform the social and economic status of women in Cuba has been inseparable from Cubas socialist revolution. Pueblas compelling personal life story is complemented throughout by an assortment of visual materials, including maps, excerpts from correspondence between members of the July 27 Movement, and photos of significant historical figures….
