Is it worth it????

The revolution that the Mirabal sisters got themselves into was a HUGE mistake! The fact that they got their children involved in the mess makes me livid. In chapter nine, as Maria Teresa is being taken away; her little girl Jacqueline screams for her. How tragic is that? The children of the Mirabal sisters are being thrust into a situation in which they didn't choose.
No child wants to be abandoned from their parents due to a political battle that can't be won. I don't understand what those sisters were thinking....What could have possibly motivated them enough to destroy their families and risk the lives of their children in order to achieve the "freedom" that they so miserably failed at doing. The sisters accomplished nothing.nothing.nothing.
There would have eventually been a group of organized liberators who had the capability to take over Trujillio, the Mirabal sisters weren't the only ones who were aggravated with the regime. The sisters had too much going on in their lives...and to risk everything for nothing doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
