| description | <p class="first" id="d129273e69">This article is based on interviews with young female university teachers carried
out in Cuba in 2008. I do not claim that all young women who teach in Cuban universities
are represented here; nor is this a detailed examination of daily work in the Cuban
post-secondary sector. The article seeks to bring the voices of some young Cuban women
who have become university teachers to an international audience so we can hear their
insights on gender relations and work in contemporary Cuba, and on local, national
and international politics. I argue that these young women demonstrate a commitment
to teaching, to their students, and to the collective development of Cuba and Cuban
people, seeing themselves as inextricably part of the process and progress of the
Revolution.
