Marianas En Combate: Teté Puebla y el Pelotón Femenino Mariana Grajales en la Guerra Revolucionaria Cubana 1956-58 (La Revolución Cubana en la Política Mundial) - Tapa blanda

Marianas in Combat. Brigadier General Teté Puebla, the highest-ranking woman in Cuba's 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 Army's first all-women's unit—the Mariana Grajales Women's Platoon. For nearly fifty years, her life has been intertwined with the fight to transform the social and economic status of women, a course of action inseparable from Cuba's socialist revolution.
