Quotes:
1.”And that’s how I got free. I don’t mean just going to sleepaway school on a train with a trunkful of new things. I mean in my head after I got to Inmaculada and met Sinita and saw what happened to Lina and realized that I’d just left a small cage to go into a bigger one, the size of our whole country.”
2. What did I want? I didn’t know anymore. Three years stuck in Ojo de Agua, and I was like that princess put to sleep in the fairy tale. I read and complained and argued with Dede, but all that time I was snoring away.
“When I met Lio, it was as if I woke up. The givens, all I’d been taught, fell away like so many covers when you sit up in bed.”
“�Viva la Mariposa!” ( when they where in the cells)
Summaries I found online
Minerva chooses an outspoken, non-traditional female role, which shifts over time.
A. Minerva is a tomboy and �daddy�s girl� who must cut the cord with her father in order to begin her own adult life.
B. Minerva is drawn to a challenging career as a lawyer and also joins the anti-Trujillo resistance.
The turning point for Minerva comes when Trujillo INVITES Don Enrique to a Discovery Day Ball at his palace, requesting that Minerva accompany him. This addendum ignites suspicion: Trujillo is legendary for his appreciation�and exploitation�of virginal beauty. The Mirabal sisters remember how he whisked the beguiling seventeen-year-old Lina Lovat�n from their convent school. He established Lina in a remote mansion and commanded the nuns to give her a diploma in absentia, placating them by contributing substantially to their school and building its gymnasium, named for Lina.
Minerva, uniquely successful at getting her way through her skilled use of logic, rebuffs the president�s advances at the ball and, when they become flagrant on the palace dance floor, she slaps his face with all her might. By doing this she gains his respect but engenders his smoldering animosity.
Minerva tells Trujillo that she wants to attend law SCHOOL . He discourages her but eventually arranges for her admission. Four years later, she receives her diploma, but, revealing his strong upper hand, Trujillo withholds from her the necessary Dominican license to practice law.
Minerva marries Manolo, two years ahead of her in law school but five years younger. He becomes a leading figure in the Dominican underground, in which she also serves as an enthusiastic worker. She learns the code language of the movement, stores large quantities of arms and propaganda in her house, and becomes increasingly engrossed in seeking Trujillo�s downfall.
