Intrepid Paths - Burma

Since Mociulski's first sojourn into Burma in 1974 and her subsequent development of non-profit Educational Empowerment, she has strived to create awareness for Burma, its people, their struggles, and their triumphs. Intrepid Paths - Burma makes visible undocumented everyday experiences that shape the lives of ordinary Burmese women. Utilizing an embedded narrative memoir structure, Mociulski links her life story of choosing unknown paths to the experiences of Burmese women. The memoir provides the backstory of her connection to the country and its culture. Six lyrical, dramatic fictional stories embedded in her memoir are based on real women known to her, and afford a relatable context for Westerners unfamiliar with this country.Mociulski hopes Intrepid Paths enables you to walk in the shoes of these women from the land of pagodas, to feel their pain, and to rejoice in their successes.
