Dave, no I do not have knowledge before this article about
Dunayesvskaya. Just seems interesting to me that a Mexican news paper
published about a Marxist women lived in Mexico and that recently a
book of her was published also.
I translated a few paragraphs of an article of a Mexican leftist, it is
not my opinion. Sorry if it is not clear from my post.
