Women and the Cuban Insurrection

Beschreibung

By documenting the centrality of women rebels and Castro's hearts and minds campaign, this book shatters the Cuban War story's mythology of an insurrection waged and won by bearded guerrillas alone. Rebels used gender as a tactic to protect themselves, attack enemy morale, and attract public support.
