This is a story of the lives of South America's women and how they have been transformed by military rule in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay.

This book covers the military rule in Argentina (1976-83) during which time thousands of people disappeared without a trace. With astonishing courage, the mothers of the disappeared took to the streets in protest demanding their return. The author worked closely with the Mothers and developed a profound sense of solidarity with their struggle. This book provides a portrait of Argentina in all its complexity, conflict and human tragedy.
