In her much renowned autobiography, “Let Me Speak!”, Domitila Barrios de Chungara depicts the story of a woman who, through great injustices, was able to develop a political mindset that would change Bolivian social class' relations forever. Domitila’s political career started when she first discovered that her voice could affect and, consequently, change people’s lives. She began protecting the miners’ and peasants’ conditions by fighting against the increase on the price of rice and sugar. With the power of the radio, Domitila was able to defy the odds and critique the upper class for their complete oblivion to the disparity between classes.
