Abstract
One of Argentina's 30,000 "disappeared", Alicia Partnoy (b. 1955) was abducted from her home by secret police and taken to a concentration camp where she was tortured, and where most of the other prisoners were killed. Smuggled out and published anonymously, this work is Partnoy's memoir of her disappearance and imprisonment. In 1979, she was forced to leave the country and moved to the U.S. where she was reunited with her daughter and her husband. Her story induced the world to open its eyes to the treatment of women in reference to the disappearances of Latin Americans.
