About The Author
HILARY KLEIN lived in Chiapas, Mexico, for several years, where she worked on women’s projects in Zapatista communities. After she edited a book of Zapatista women’s testimonies to be circulated within their own villages, women in Zapatista leadership positions suggested that Klein compile a similar book for an outside audience. Campañeras: Zapatista Women’s Stories was the result. Klein, a D.C. native, has been engaged in social justice work and community organizing for twenty years. She currently works at Make the Road New York, a membership-based organization that allies with immigrant and working-class communities to help them achieve dignity and justice.
