I could tell you to get you head out of the books and live a little. Ya
that's true perhaps in many parts of South America, where there's
industrialization and political action going on, but not in most of Mexico
or central america, were it's real poor or other areas of South america. If
you open a book, what are you gonna read? Or, more importantly who are you
going to read? Are you gonna read an illiterate, peasant woman? 
A good, old friend of mine has family down in Uraguay at Montevideo. I here
it politically active and she wants us to go down this summer, but if you
read revolutionary stuff from women its usually the more educated ones.
Name one written revoltionary women even in the political area of Chiapas?
