Her two novellas, \u003ci\u003eCartucho\u003c\/i\u003e (first published in 1931) and \u003ci\u003eMy Mother's Hands\u003c\/i\u003e (first published as \u003ci\u003eLas manos de Mamá\u003c\/i\u003e in 1938), are autobiographical evocations of a childhood spent amidst the violence and turmoil of the Revolution in Mexico. Campobello's memories of the Revolution in the north of Mexico, where Pancho Villa was a popular hero and a personal friend of her family, show not only the stark realism of \u003ci\u003eCartucho\u003c\/i\u003e but also the tender lyricism of \u003ci\u003eMy Mother's Hands\u003c\/i\u003e. They are noteworthy, too, as a first-person account of the female experience in the early years of the Mexican Revolution and unique in their presentation of events from a child's perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction by Elena Poniatowska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartucho (translated by Doris Meyer) \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslator’\u003cbr\u003es Note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI.
