This document discusses the history of subversive women's action in Haiti, specifically the female paramilitary force known as Fiyet Lalo. It notes that there is no comprehensive history of this group and questions whether the lack of history is due to them being portrayed as "monstrous women" or due to "monstrous silence". The document outlines its mission to understand why there is a silence around Fiyet Lalo in historical records and whose interests that silence may serve. It also discusses different frameworks for understanding Haiti's history from the perspectives of the state versus the nation.
