Scraps of Life: Chilean Arpilleras, Chilean Women, and the Pinochet Dictatorship, Marjorie Agosín, translated from Spanish by Cola Franzen, 1987, Chile (Chile/United States), NONFICTION

"...Although she acknowledges, "the more I learned about what the military could do, with absolute impunity, the more terrified I became," she decided "not to be afraid of fear" and reaffirmed her commitment to tell the stories of the women who make Arpilleras, embroidered and appliquéd pictures that tell the true story of what is going on in Chile. These Arpilleristas search for any trace of relatives who have been picked up by the authorities and never seen or heard about again..."
