In 1996, an older woman in Lima, Peru - part of a group of women street sweepers protesting the privatization of the city's cleaning services - stripped to the waist in full view of the crowd that surrounded her. This title analyzes the ramifications of this act within the city's conflicted history and across its class divisions.
