The bitter struggle of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK,
against the Turkish state has delivered inspirational but often
tragic stories. This memoir by Kurdish revolutionary Sakine Cansiz
is one of them. Sakine, whose code name was 'Sara', co-founded the
PKK in 1974 and dedicated her life to its cause. On the 9 January
2013 she was assassinated in Paris in circumstances that remain
officially unresolved. This is the first chapter of her iconic
life, leading up to her arrest in 1979, penned as dramatic events
unfolded against the backdrop of the Turkish revolutionary left.
She writes about the excitement of entering the movement as a young
woman, discovering she would have to challenge traditional gender
roles as she rose amongst its ranks. She was one of the first to
demand the recruitment and education of female revolutionaries, and
demanded total gender equality within the PKK, which is now one of
its central tenets. Today, 'Sara' is an inspiration to women
fighting for liberation across the world. This is her story in her
own words, and is in turns shocking, violent and path-breaking.
