Summary:Some came from educated middle-class families, others were very poor and did not attend school - they joined the guerillas illiterate and learned to read and write in the army; some were peasants and other came from urban families or immigrant families from China. The two narratives do not interfere with each other; the book does not aim to be an impersonal and detached account of women's lives, separated from the author who looked for, interviewed and lived with these women.
