Tenia 15 anos de edad. Esta es su historia: desde la actividad clandestina en las ciudades, hasta desempenarse como oficial en el primer peloton femenino del victorioso Ejercito Rebelde. Por casi 50 anos, su vida ha estado entrelazada con la lucha por transformar el estado social y economico de la mujer, curso de accion inseparable de la revolucion socialista cubana.

        Tambien disponible en: English, Farsi

        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, the fight to transform the social and economic status of women in Cuba has been inseparable from Cuba's socialist revolution.

        5 out of 5 stars Mujeres en la revolución cubana.......2003-10-27

        Ésta es la historia de la revolución cubano, contada por una
        mujer que se unió a la lucha para derrocar a la dictadura de Batista en 1956 cuando ella tenía 15 años. Sus cuentos de esa época sobre la organización en las ciudades y el combate en el campo hablan mucho de la clase de revolución que había comenzado. El cuidado de presos, por ejemplo, era una parte grande de romper la disciplina en el ejército de Batista. En su trabajo después de la salida de Batista y la victoria de las fuerzas de 26 de julio, Tete Puebla ayudó a organizar la vivienda y la educación para las viudas y los niños. Incluidas eran las familias de los peores ayudantes de Batista, que también fueron tratadas con respecto. Ésta era otra manera en que el nuevo gobierno revolucionario ganará amplio apoyo. Puebla cuenta la historia de una clase totalmente diferente de ejército, y una población entera organizada y entrenada para defender lo que habian logrado contra los diagramas y la agresión del gobierno de Estados Unidos. Aprendemos de los cambios desde qué las mujeres eran "solamente decoraciones de la cama." Aprendemos como brilla la revolución socialista cubana, una luz que los ricos de EEUU quiere esconder.

        5 out of 5 stars La lucha por la liberación de la mujer en Cuba,.......2003-10-14

        La lucha moderna por la liberación de la mujer en Cuba siempre fue un compromiso de la revolución cubana. En las paginas de este libro se ve este compromiso en acción. Empezó durante la misma guerra en contra de la tirania de Batista cuando Fidel Castro inició una unidad de combate de mujeres como parte el Ejercito Rebelde, el peletón Mariana Grajales. En este libro la General de las Fuerzas Armamdas Revoluciónarias de Cuba Delsa Esther Puebla, conocido come Teté, describa sus experiencias como miembro del Peletón Mariana Grajales, como official más alta femenil de las FAR, como internacionalista, y como dirigente de la lucha por la liberación de la mujer en Cuba, donde hay el solo gobierno en el mundo que ayudó ayer y ayuda hoy esta lucha .A veces, este titulo no está disponible en amazon ( dice " not available on amazon") pero siempre se puede comprar de "booksfrompathfinder"; imprime el frase "new and used" encima de la pagina al lado del titulo del libro.

        5 out of 5 stars Entrevista con una general cubana.......2003-10-11

        Esta es una entrevista con la general de brigada Teté Puebla, la oficial femenina del más alto grado de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Cuba. La entrevista fue conducida por Mary-Alice Waters, presidenta de la editorial Pathfinder.

        En el intercambio con la entrevistadora Teté recuerda sus experiencias en la guerra revolucionaria cubana. Y la historia que cuenta explica mucho sobre cómo la revolución cubana, a partir de sus días más tempranos, intentó promover la emancipación de mujeres de su condición subyugada.

        La lucha de Teté comenzó en 1956, no como una lucha para los derechos de las mujeres, sino como una lucha para los derechos más fundamentales de su comunidad en la ciudad de Yara en Cuba del este, que estaba bajo sitio de los gamberros de Batista. Teté comenzó a realizar tareas para las fuerzas rebeldes conducidas por Fidel Castro, una vez que ellos se establecieron en las montañas, pasando de contrabando armas y suministros. Descubierta por los agentes del ejército, la forzaron huir a la sierra en julio de 1957 donde ella se hizo miembro del ejército guerrillero.

        Como combatiente inventiva y valerosa, ella pronto enfrentó el hecho de que no había ninguna unidad del combate compuesta de mujeres. Ella ofreció voluntariamente a formar una. Fidel aprobó el plan, y así nació el Pelotón Femenino de Mariana Grajales (las Marianas). Las luchadoras jóvenes entraron en combate juntas a los hombres, y además de demostrar su valor y puntería, pusieron los cimientos para una nueva forma de sociedad en Cuba.

        La Cuba nueva fue nacida de los hombres y mujeres luchando lado a lado, iguales, para liberar la isla de la miseria que se le había impuesto el imperio al norte. Este principio de la igualdad, desarrollado en plena batalla como norma de conducta, llegó a ser un modelo para la nueva sociedad mientras ésta se iba formando.

        Después de la victoria de enero de 1959 Teté desarrolló sus capacidades de liderato más allá, trabajando en el proceso de organización de los nuevos sistemas educativos y los servicios sociales que implantaron la igualdad de las mujeres no sólo como principio de la ley, sino además una realidad práctica en la vida cotidiana. Ella sigue siendo soldada en el ejército revolucionario de Cuba.

        5 out of 5 stars How Cuban women, fought, fight, and will fight.......2003-10-11

        Malcolm X and Thomas Sankara both wrote about how the reality of any revolution, and any society is shown in the role of women. This is the story of Tete Puebla, the highest ranking women general in the Cuban army about how Cuban women fought and gained an equal role as combatants in the Cuban revolution, how revolutionary Cuban women played a decisive role in the transformation of Cuban society, about how Cuban women led the fight for literacy in the 1960s, and how Cuban women have fought in Angola, in Grenada, and wherever imperialism threatens the revolution, and how Cuban woman are ready to fight, arms in hands, against Washington's threats to overturn their revolution. This is no Cooks tour about the perfection of Cuban revolutionists, but it does show how Fidel fought for women's equal role because they were recognized as fighters. To me the most wonderful part is the description of how the revolution dealt not just with the orphans of revolutionary martyrs, but with children orphaned because their parents were in Batista's murderous criminal army. They were all treated the same, as children of the revolution. Read this book and you will recognize the depth of the lies that Washington, and Ottawa, and London throw at the Cuban Revolution. Read this and you will be able to look forward to the time your country can be transformed as Cuba was!

        5 out of 5 stars The choice book for learning about the Mafia.......1997-12-06

        Out of all of the resources I used for a 30 hour research project on the Mafia, Under the Clock stands alone. It is not only a good resource, but is one of the most informative and interesting books I've ever read as well. Besides telling about the Italian and Irish mobs, it also tells of the famous mobsters, their lives and day to day activites. From the origins of the Mafia in America to the recent past with John Gotti, every bit of this book is accurate and gripping. As for readability, this book is written in the style of The Hot Zone by Richard Preston: it is factual information, but reads like fiction because of the sensationalistic subject matter. For anyone interested in the Mafia or old Irish organized crime, this will be a fast read. You don't have to know anything about the mob, or any Italian; this book will grab your attention and hold it until the chilling conclusion. One final note: the language used by the mobsters is not of the most pleasant kind and is used in this book as a device to underscore the mentality and dealings of the Mafia. It is not overly gratuitous with its profanity, but it is not for the feint of heart either.

        5 out of 5 stars It is an excellent book to read.......1997-07-20

        I enjoyed the book because it does not tell just about the Italian and Sicilian Mafia but also the Irish and Jewish Mafia. The book is very acurate in its facts. It is also keeps you interested if you are intrigued about how the mafia formed, what it was like in the early days, as well as how they operate. The book goes back to Don Giuseppe to Al Capone and Dutch Schultz to John Gotti.

          5 out of 5 stars Just Luscious.......2007-10-04

          I've been knitting for nearly 50 years but this book made me convert to lace knitting. What a gorgeous collection! Not only are the designs beautiful but the techniques you learn while working on them are valuable. I particularly appreciate that the designs are charted as I am horrible at following written instructions. Of course my very favorite designs are the most intricate ones, Frost Flowers and Mediterranean Lace but I also appreciate the beautiful lacy tunics and gloves.

          This isn't for the faint of heart but even if you are a beginner there is much to learn and dream over. I take this book out a lot and always find inspiration. I'm not good at making other people's designs exactly as they are presented but I've learned a lot about lace-knitting and have incorporated the techniques here into many other projects. This book is a valuable reference as well as a source of inspiration.

          3 out of 5 stars check for corrections to avoid frustration!.......2007-08-14

          I've made several of the projects in this book, and I am looking forward to making more. It has beautiful patterns. But, I would have saved myself a lot of frustration and ripping out if I'd checked first for corrections to mistakes in the directions and charts before beginning my first project. All of the patterns I chose to make have had substantial mistakes in both charts and written instructions. A four page pdf of necessary fixes is available online, but I still lowered my rating of this book - the sheer number of mistakes is inexcusable for an expensive book produces by experience knitters. And they should have been corrected before reprinting - my copy is the fourth printing, still with the same mistakes.

          5 out of 5 stars a valuable reference .......2007-08-07

          Meg Swansen has given new knitters of lace a useful and encouraging guide and reference. The smaller projects are especially welcome, a good way to learn a new approach to knitting without committing big bucks, many hours, and extensive effort. As a seasoned needlewoman, I feel qualified to say that small projects employ all the techniques one needs in big projects, so the big ones can be done better. Beautiful designs, instructions, and pictures. I am pleased to add this book to my library.

          5 out of 5 stars Beautiful knit lace for the Intermediate knitter.......2007-06-08

          Rich in beautiful patterns with so many wonderful choices! I am knitting my fourth shawl from this book, having progressed from a "beginner" pattern to "advanced". Directions are pithy but complete so it helps if you have prior experience with charted patterns. Use lots of stitch markers and have a go. You will be creating wonderful heirloom pieces to be cherished by your children and grandchildren. My advice to anyone attempting lace knitting -- purchase good materials! Each garment is a labor of love and requires many hours to complete so you will want them to last. One of my favorite books!

          5 out of 5 stars Practical lace projects that I can use.......2007-05-04

          I've already made a couple of the small items in the little laces section. The patterns are easy to figure out, with a good combination of written directions and charts. I got this at the same time as the Folk Shawls book by Cheryl Oberle. Both are good, but this one has many more items that aren't just shawls or scarves. It has socks, hats, a Real purse, some very cut gloves.
          And, the photography is absolutely beautiful.

                Book Description

                The eight-year-old child is an exuberant,  outgoing bundle of energy; he meets every challenge  head-on, willing to try almost anything. Sometimes  parents are amazed at the enthusiasm and excitement  with which their child greets the  world.



                However, eight is also a time when the child  begins to do a great deal of analyzing and  evaluating, finding fault in himself and  others--especially Mohter. How do parents help an eight-year-old  through this up-and-down age? What should parents  expect in their relationships with the child and  how can life in the family be made easier? What  will the child's relationship with friends and  siblings be like? In the successful tradition of the  Gesell institute series, Your  Eight-Year-Old is a well-researched, highly  accessible guide.

                4 out of 5 stars Dated, but helpful child development reference........2006-07-07

                I have bought these books each year as my son grows up. The social context is fairly dated, but the behaviorial and abilities information is very helpful. It has been reassuring to find his behaviors are not totally out of sync with one interpretation of typical development. I usually read the next age shortly before his birthday and refer to it thoughout the year. It is definitely an inexpensive and fairly helpful reference.

                4 out of 5 stars good, but.......2004-11-05

                I liked much of this book, but thought that certain elements were outdated. For example, when the author states that the eight-year old's "walking area...is so wide that it's sometimes hard to locate him," I wondered what planet she lived on, where an eight year old can still wander around alone safely!

                5 out of 5 stars I love this series.......2003-08-26

                My husband and I are in the process of raising three daughters, ranging in age from 15 to 6. Throughout I have found this series, although sometimes outdated in specifics, right on in terms of emotional and behavioral development.

                I have found it comforting to see that the books define certain behaviors as stages, just as they are occurring. And I have felt less alone as I have battled some of the less desirable behavior.

                These authors really know what they are talking about.

                4 out of 5 stars Review by a Mother of an Eight Year Old.......2001-10-09

                Ames and Harber explore this livley energized challenging time in a child's life and provide insights for parents to guide them through this rollar coaster ride between seven and nine years old. The authors aim to offer parents insight on everything from relationships and family life to routines and birthday parties. Each chapter is rich with observation and empirical and anecdotal data. While you may not always agree with the conclusions the authors reach, credit is easily given to the skill with which they are able to articulate their observations. Your Eight Year Old: Lively and Outgoing is a practical systematic guide to better understanding eight year old behavior.

                4 out of 5 stars Helpful, but could have been better........2001-06-22

                Having bought "Your 6-Year-Old" and found it terrific, we purchased this book when we were going through some problems with our then 8-year-old. "Your 6-year-old" was extremely helpful to us at the time, giving us lots of tools to deal with the changes our daughter was going through. However, "Your 8-Year-Old" didn't seem to go into as much depth as the 6-year-old one did. The descriptions of various personality traits and development phases seemed more general in this book than in the 6-year-old book. Although it was helpful, we felt that it could have gone into more detail.

                      Book Description

                      This first comprehensive biography of Charles M. Russell examines the colorful life and times of Montana's famed Cowboy Artist. Born to an affluent St. Louis family in 1864, young Russell read thrilling tales of the West and filled sketchbooks with imagined frontier scenes. At sixteen he left home and headed west to become a cowboy. In Montana Territory he consorted with cowpunchers, Indians, preachers, saloon keepers, and prostitutes, while celebrating the waning American frontier's glory days in some 4,000 paintings, watercolors, drawings, and sculptures. Before his death in 1926, Russell saw the world change dramatically, and the West he loved passed into legend. By then he was revered as one of the country's ranking Western artist with works displayed in the finest galleries, his romantic vision of the Old West forever shaping our own.

                      Taliaferro reveals the man behind the myth in his multifaceted complexity: extraordinarily gifted, self-effacing, charming, mischievous, and playful, a friend to rough frontier denizens and Hollywood stars alike. The author also explores Russell's controversial partnership with his fiery young wife, Nancy, whose ambition and business savvy helped establish Russell as one of America's most popular artists.

                      5 out of 5 stars "THE" COWBOY ARTIST.......2003-09-06

                      Art critics spend much time arguing about the value of western art and as to whether it can really be classified as art at all. Some of the more snobby critics attempt to discredit western painters by referring to them as "illustrators" as if that changes anything. They argue that if an artist is commissioned by other than the loftiest of patrons or if their work is used primarily to illuminate a story then their art can only be classified as illustration and not as fine art.

                      As an art student I argued this one ad nauseam with my art professors. And invariably the work of Charles Marion Russell, my favorite ARTIST - period - would arise. But that's enough about small-minded art professors and their unwillingness to accept art wherever they find it.

                      The work of Charles Marion Russell (hereafter CM Russell) is accepted by thousands as arguably the best of the western genre. It remains the standard against which all other western pieces are judged. Russell also was an accomplished western wit who drew and kept the fast friendship of the king of western wit, Will Rogers. In his book Charles M. Russell: The Life and Legend of America's Cowboy Artist, John Taliaferro not only discusses the art achievements of Russell but also provides a biography that paints the life of the artist and the west Russell knew so well in the most vivid colors possible. And indeed CM Russell was the most colorful of characters.

                      Read this book and I'll bet you will at least become the owner of a CM Russell print and at most plan a pilgrimage to Great Falls to visit CM Russell's museum, studio and home.

                      As a young boy he heard the words of Horace Greely, and indeed went west to seek fame, fortune, and adventure. After two years with Jake Hoover in the Judith, his dreams of wranglin', and ropin' came true at the O H ranch. Over time the home of the "Big Sky Country" became his perminant domain, and his mother Miss Montana, she blessed her son with a gift that would speek for many of his kind that ventured before him. He illustrated with brush, and canvas. He wrote in scripture, and sculptured in bronze. With his gift, C M Russell was able to protray what it was like to live in a time when spurs, the six-gun, and the feel of leather was a cowhands only cherrished parcel. He became the "Cowboys Cowboy", and the voice of the "Red-Man". Montana's dearest son had done what she wanted him to do. Russell for those who knew him was Loving, Kind, and Loyal. He never forgot his roots, no matter where he traveled. In the end Montana was more than proud of him. For she had raised him as Montanan. Over the years he became a Montanan. And at the end of the trail, he was buried as a Montanan.
