cover of the original edition of SI ME PERMITEN HABLAR: testimonio de Domitila, una mujer de las minas de Bolivia. this book is the quintessential 20th century “literatura de testimonio”, where the biographer/author Moema Viezzer basically transcribed most of her interviews with Domitila as opposed to inserting herself as a “translator”. this book was revolutionary for Viezzer respecting Domitila’s vernacular as a working class Aymará Bolivian of limited “proper” schooling.

cover of the original English translation: LET ME SPEAK: Testimony of Domitila, a woman of the Bolivian mines notice how in the translation they credited both Domitila and Viezzer. after the initial prints in Spanisjph, SigloXXI (the original publusher of the book) added Domitila as an author.
