Summary: Confusion, clothes, boys, puberty, boys, and arguing with Mom. Add to that list, resisting a brutal, repressive dictatorship and you get an idea of the teenage life of Carmen Aguirre. At the age of six, she fled to Canada with her family following the violent coup of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile. Five years later, she would return to South America and become a secret dissident. She sits down with Piya Chattopadhyay to discuss her book, "Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter."
