The book, titled "The Struggle of Nicaraguan Women," Bertian van Manen Contains photographs taken in the Republic of Nicaragua in Central America.

"Few countries have had such a major role in the liberation of a country as Nicaragua. As in many countries where there has been a struggle for liberation, attempts have been made to push women back into their traditional roles. But in this Central American country, this has not been successful. Many developments in Nicaragua give hope for a new structure in which women can have an equal and dignified role in society. Bertian van Manen and Janie van den Berg traveled through Nicaragua, visiting the border areas and several towns and villages. Van Manen's photographs vividly depict the many areas where women are active. Van den Berg's interviews feature these women." (Excerpt from the book's introduction)
