"Butterfly Age" is a historical novel by Julia Alvarez who talks about the fictional story of Mirabar's sister during Trujillo's dictatorship regime of the Dominican Republic. The book was written by the first and third people and written by Mirabal sisters. The story was first published in 1994 and adapted to feature films in 2001. This is the story of the four Milabal sisters between the Rafiel Trujillo dictatorship of the Dominican Republic. At school, one sister, Minerva, met Sinita, a girl who later became one of her best friends. Sinai finally revealed the truth about Trujo to Minerva - their "Glory" leader is a murderer. The sisters made a political determination to overthrow the Trujill administration. When their families were retaliated by the military intelligence agency (SIM), they were harassed, persecuted and imprisoned.

The Butterfly of Butterflies of Julia Alvarez imagined a rebellion against the dictator Trujillo at her birth country Dominican Republic. The story event is accurate in a wide sense, but Alvarez has developed his own Mirabal sister version known as "Las Mariposas". The reason why this story is very powerful is that Alvarez decided not to deified the sisters, but to show the human nature of national heroes. The decision to join the revolution was not easy for the sisters and they did not participate to the same extent. Reading about the interests of women's love and then reading the growing political consciousness helps to eliminate the gap that often exists between "hero" and "general people".
