Este libro contiene las historias de 50 Mujeres Españolas Extraordinarias que, por su carácter y esfuerzo, fueron capaces de realizar hechos y hazañas poco o nada conocidas y mucho menos recordadas. La Historia de España ha sido escrita por y para los hombres, olvidando, e incluso vilipendiando, a aquellas mujeres que rompieron moldes, realizaron gestas o trabajos que la sociedad asignaba a los hombres y se rebelaron contra las normas y costumbres sociales de la época en la que les tocó vivir. A pesar de ello, algunas pocas, muy pocas, están en la historia, aunque su memoria esté totalmente perdida, o casi. El grupo lo componen mujeres que en el siglo IV viajaron a los confines del mundo conocido; fueron reinas como Urraca I de Castilla, Berenguela; luchadoras como la Dama de Arintero, Inés Suárez, María la Bailaora y la monja alférez; defensoras de los derechos de mujeres como Teresa de Cartagena, María de Zayas; la primera y, hasta ahora, única almirante de la Armada Española, la única mujer Virrey en la historia; la primera mujer que descendió sola el curso del río Amazonas de los Andes peruanos hasta su desembocadura para reunirse con su marido después de 20 años separados; los primeras universitarias y doctoras, periodistas, locutoras de radio, diputadas en Cortes, ministras del Gobierno de España, aviadoras, ingenieras y arquitectas, olímpicas, caídas en combate en Afganistán o impulsoras de las ciencias españolas. Además de la mujer cuya vida es un cuento de hadas, Anita Delgado, que pasó de cantar en un café madrileño a principios del siglo XX a ser S.A. Maharaní Prem Kaur de Kapurthala. Sin olvidar a la Duquesa de La Victoria, María del Carmen Angoloti, la Dama de Sanidad Militar que, por orden de la reina Victoria Eugenia, acudió con un grupo pequeño de mujeres a cuidar de los heridos en Melilla hace ahora un siglo. Aquella mujer de la que se puede leer en el Diario Sesiones de Cortes, Congreso de Diputados, del día 27 de octubre de 1921, las palabras del diputado del PSOE, Sr. Prieto “…Sin embargo conozco en esta guerra un heroísmo ante el cual me hincaría de rodillas, y es el de unas damas que, sea cual fuere su alcurnia, una conciencia honrada como la mía no puede pasar en silencio. Me refiero a ese grupo pequeño, diminuto, ínfimo, capitaneado por esa heroína que se llama Duquesa de la Victoria. Es el único heroísmo español del cual he sido testigo, el único que me siento con valor para exaltar aquí; pero con la exaltación tiene que ir la honda lamentación, entre lágrimas, de que sea un puñado tan escaso, cinco, seis, ocho mujeres, las que andan atendiendo a los heridos, clavando los féretros, amortajando los cadáveres. …”

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago • Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world—from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. “Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting." Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you're from.

The question of difference - between women and men and among women - is at the heart of feminist theory and the history of feminism. Feminists have long debated the meanings of sexual difference: is it an underlying truth of nature or the result of changing social belief? Are women the same asor different from men? Feminism and History argues that sexual difference, indeed that all forms of social differentation, cannot be understood apart from history. It brings together the best critical articles available to analyze the ways in which differences among women and men have been produced. The articles range across many countries and time periods (from the Middle Ages to the present) and they include analyses of western and non-western experiences. There are discussions of race in the United States and in colonial contexts. A variety of theoretical approaches to the question ofdifference is included; but in all cases, difference is the focus of the historian's analysis. The analytic focus on difference distinguishes this book from other collections of women's history. It will be fascinating and essential reading for students and teachers of history, women's studies, genedr studies, cultural studies, queer theory, and feminist theory.

Throughout my childhood, my grandmother Yasmina, who was illiterate and grew up in a harem, repeated that to travel is the best way to learn and to empower yourself. "When a woman decides to use her wings, she takes big risks," she would tell me, but she was convinced that if you didn't use them, it hurt.... So recalls Fatema Mernissi at the outset of her mesmerizing new book. Of all the lessons she learned from her grandmother -- whose home was, after all, a type of prison -- the most central was that the opportunity to cross boundaries was a sacred privilege. Indeed, in journeys both physical and mental, Mernissi has spent virtually all of her life traveling -- determined to "use her wings" and to renounce her gender's alleged legacy of powerlessness. Bursting with the vitality of Mernissi's personality and of her rich heritage, Scheherazade Goes West reveals the author's unique experiences as a liberated, independent Moroccan woman faced with the peculiarities and unexpected encroachments of Western culture. Her often surprising discoveries about the conditions of and attitudes toward women around the world -- and the exquisitely embroidered amalgam of clear-eyed autobiography and dazzling meta-fiction by which she relates those assorted discoveries -- add up to a deliciously wry, engagingly cosmopolitan, and deeply penetrating narrative. In her previous bestselling works, Mernissi -- widely recognized as the world's greatest living Koranic scholar and Islamic sociologist -- has shed unprecedented light on the lives of women in the Middle East. Now, as a writer and scholarly veteran of the high-wire act of straddling disparate societies, she trains her eyes on the female culture of the West. For her book's inspired central metaphor, Mernissi turns to the ancient Islamic tradition of oral storytelling, illuminating her grandmother's feminized, subversive, and highly erotic take on Scheherazade's wife-preserving tales from The Arabian Nights -- and then ingeniously applying them to her own lyrically embellished personal narrative. Interwoven with vivid ruminations on her childhood, her education, and her various international travels are the author's piquant musings on a range of deeply embedded societal conditions that add up, Mernissi argues, to a veritable "Western harem." A provocative and lively challenge to the common assumption that women have it so much better in the West than anywhere else in the world, Mernissi's book is an entrancing and timely look at the way we live here and now. By inspiring us to reconsider even the most commonplace aspects of our culture with fresh eyes and a healthy dose of suspicion, Scheherazade Goes West offers an invigorating, candid, and entertaining new perspective on the themes and ideas to which Betty Friedan first turned us on nearly forty years ago.
