In the Time of the Butterflies plot
"Women had their place. Hers was in the revolution."
On November 25, 1960, the bodies of three sisters were found near the bottom of a cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Officially it is reported that it was an accident, but it does not mention that a fourth sister is alive. Nor does it mention the sisters' savage resistance to the General Trujillo dictatorship. Here's their story: how Minerva Trujillo refused and the tragedy began; how Patria became an opponent of the Church; how Maria Teresa joined the revolution through love. And how they lost their wings, but not their courage. They were Las Mariposas - the "Butterflies".
