<p><i>Sandino's Daughters</i>, Margaret Randall's conversations with Nicaraguan women in their struggle against the dictator Somoza in 1979, brought the lives of a group of extraordinary female revolutionaries to the American and world public. The book remains a landmark. Now, a decade later, Randall returns to interview many of the same women and others. In <i>Sandino's Daughters Revisited</i>, they speak of their lives during and since the Sandinista administration, the ways in which the revolution made them strong -- and also held them back. Ironically, the 1990 defeat of the Sandinistas at the ballot box has given Sandinista women greater freedom to express their feelings and ideas. </p>
