This guide begins with a reflection on the arpilleristas and the women's protest movement in Chile by award-winning scholar, poet, and activist Marjorie Agosín. The introduction is followed by several readings, comprising a historical narrative that describes the movement, and a series of primary source documents, including poetry, diplomatic correspondence, and, of course, photographs of the arpilleras themselves. Each section of the guide is sharpened by "Connections" questions that are designed to stimulate students' reflections and to offer additional resources. Translations of this resource are also available to educators teaching in a Spanish-speaking setting.
