It was many years before I met Carmen Guerrero Nakpil but hers was already a familiar name when I was growing up. She had established herself as a writer and journalist of substance when I was a student in St. Theresa’s College in Manila, which was also her alma mater. Women like her had contributed to the reputation of academic excellence of the convent school on San Marcelino Street. Though there were many graduates who had distinguished themselves in different fields, Carmen Guerrero Nakpil was among the most prominent, being in the public eye with a byline, then a column in a succession of Manila dailies.

Description
Personal memoir of a nationalistic Filipino journalist and feminist, focusing on her growing-up years in Ermita before the war. Intensely personal and detailed, she brings pre-war days to life and shows how people lived in those years.
She has three short chapters on the outbreak of the war and the Japanese occupation, and ends her memoir with the destruction and death wrought by the Battle for Manila. Her husband of three years was executed by the Japanese, together with her father; the ancestral home of the Guerreros was destroyed by an American bomb inadvertently dropped on it.
The pain of recounting the war is still evident, and it was only with much courage that she brought herself to remember those tragic days.
