SUMMARY:A Flower Traveled in My Blood, with Haley Cohen Gilliland
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nPlease register for this free online program, co-presented by Jewtina y Co.\n\nIn A Flower Traveled in My Blood: The Incredible True Story of the Grandmothers Who Fought to Find a Stolen Generation of Children, Haley Cohen Gilliland tells the story of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, grandmothers who fought to find their stolen grandchildren during Argentina’s brutal dictatorship. During the 1976-1983 military regime, hundreds of pregnant women were disappeared—abducted, forced to give birth in captivity, then executed while their newborns were given to police and military families. United by faith that their grandchildren were still alive, fierce grandmothers formed the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, transforming into detectives who confronted military officers, assumed aliases, and pioneered groundbreaking genetics tests to find the stolen children. Gilliland chronicles the group’s journey by focusing on the experiences of Rosa Roisinblit, whose only child Patricia was one of the dictatorship’s victims.\nA compelling mystery and deeply researched account of a pivotal era in world history, A Flower Traveled in My Blood takes readers on a journey of love, resilience, and redemption, revealing new truths about memory, identity, and family.\nHaley Cohen Gilliland is a journalist and the director of the Yale Journalism Initiative. She previously worked at The Economist for seven years, four of which were spent in Buenos Aires as the paper’s Argentina correspondent. She has since focused on narrative nonfiction—bringing history and current events to life through fact-based storytelling. She has published long-form feature articles in The New York Times, National Geographic, Bloomberg Businesswee, and Vanity Fair, among other publications.\n\n\n\n\n
