Born at a time when young women were considered only to be seen, not heard and were reared to take their special place in the home, Helena Z Benitez has exceeded all boundaries on what women can do. She has broken new ground and has sown seeds of development here at home and abroad. One such concept which was yet unheard of at the time is “sustainable development”, for which she devoted a good part of her life.

"Mondays at Mira-Nila" provides insights into the thoughts and opinions of Dr. Benitez as they evolved and were experienced over the almost nine decades of her life as educator, civil society leader, women's advocate, legislator, stateswoman, diplomat, environmental pioneer, and nationalist.
