This book by Amrit Wilson examines the role of Eritrean women in the revolution and fight for independence from Italian colonization in 1890 to 1941, and the later Ethiopian federation. The author interviewed women from the region and traveled there to gather material on how women participated in the resistance movements and clandestine organizations, as well as the impact it had on transforming their lives.
