by Luz Alicia Herrera* Translated by Maria Alice Jacob INTRODUCTION As a contribution to the knowledge of Guatemalan reality, I offer the following statements as they were told to me by the women themselves. Each is selected for a reason. Through the statement of the first woman, we discover thousands of Guatemalan women: poor peasants, agricultural workers, maids, industrial workers, unmarried mothers, and the women who are active in the struggle of popular organizations. Through the statement of the second woman, we see an example of a person from a wealthy background who opts for the interests of the great oppressed majority of Guatemalans. We present this second interview, knowing full well that it may generate the common psychological interpretation that this serious process of transformation is actually a manifestation of social resentment. With such an explanation the bourgeoisie tries to dismiss the choice of those who side with the majority of the people
