Years in the Making
Halvorsen said the project began several years ago when a niece of Fairchild asked her to write the story. “I didn’t find where to start, but when I accessed her memoirs, those loose writings and saved experiences, I knew I had a great story in my hands. I caught his way of looking at the world,” Halvorsen stated.
Piecing Together a Life
the research process involved reconstructing Fairchild’s life from letters, papers, cassettes, and scattered memories. “She left a lot of material, but it was not compiled,” Halvorsen explained. “The puzzle had to be put together. I followed routes, I investigated places, and many times I wondered why I was doing certain routes. But of course, it was another era, with other ways of thinking and moving. All that captivated me.”
A Woman Ahead of Her Time
“Charlotte made her first Raid in the Government of Perón,” Halvorsen said. “She was a woman advanced to her time. His story is crossed by the political, socially, personally.” The event also served as a reunion,with attendees sharing their memories of Fairchild. Halvorsen noted that a photo published online led to Fairchild’s grandson contacting her to acquire it. Plans are underway to distribute the book to more locations in the province.
