Who Demonstrated Responsibility “In the Time of the Butterflies” book? How?

"People look to us to be an example, we've got a responsibility." Chapter 12

In an interview, Julia Alvarez said, "There's always the responsibility of the survivors to tell the story of those who didn't make it. People ask how long it took to write this book and I say, "all my life." November 25th is the date in all our minds, those who survived. It is an important that for us and to everyone. The United Nations has even declared November 25th the International Day Against Violence Against Women because of the Mirabal sisters."
