Absorbing dialectic portrait of gender inequality in post-revolutionary Cuba. Gómez attempts to tackle it by assembling a wide variety of opinions by women of different ages and social backgrounds. Last section feels specially thought-provoking: older ladies debating the images they've just seen -- younger ones talking about their individual and collective roles in a patriarchal society. Do they have to give up dreams of becoming moms to achieve independence? Why is it hard so hard for society to accept women who choose creative and intellectual goals over 'traditional' ones? Questions like these abound and, of course, remain resonant to this day.
