This project began with a photograph of four women: Marina Pena, Salvadoran Director of the Share Foundation; her daughter Shatnam; Tania Gochez, professional translator and communication consultant; and her daughter Delfi. Both Tania and Marina had been FMLN combatants in the civil conflict ending in 1992. Seeing them with their arms around their daughters, the same age now as many women were when they Òwent to the mountainsÓ to join the guerilla forces, made these authors wonder what kind of world these mothers feel they are bequeathing to their daughters and whether they believe that their sacrifices during the war have made the world a better place for the next generation of women.
