Un alegato contra el modelo de mujer perfecta. Un catálogo de vidas, de señoras agradables o terribles, patéticas o admirables, derrotadas o triunfantes. Personas poco comunes con unas vidas fascinantes. «Este libro reúne, en una versión más ampliada, las biografías de mujeres que publiqué en el suplemento dominical de El País. No sé bien dónde encuadrar estos trabajos: aunque están muy documentados, no son ni biografías académicas ni artículos periodísticos, sino unos textos muy apasionados, muy personales. Son historias de mujeres singulares a las que intenté entender. Las hay generosas y las hay malvadas, cobardes o valientes, turbulentas o tímidas; todas son, eso sí, muy originales y algunas resultan pasmosas por lo extraordinario de sus peripecias. Pero creo que, por muy raras que parezcan, siempre podemos reconocernos en ellas. Y es que cada uno de nosotros encierra dentro de sí todas las vidas.» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION These are stories of unique women whom the author attempts to comprehend. They appear generous, wicked, cowardly, brave, outgoing or even timid. All of the women are original, and some appear even more impressive through their extraordinary adventures. But no matter how very unusual these women may seem, women can always identify themselves in them. This book includes the lives of important women in history such as: Frida Kahlo, the Brontë sisters, Simone de Beauvoir, Agatha Christie among others.

Edición especial de uno de los libros fundamentales de Rosa Montero, Premio Nacional de las Letras 2017. Una obra pionera en la reivindicación del papel de la mujer en la historia a través de las biografías de sus protagonistas. Ilustrada por María Herreros. «Este libro no es un libro solo para mujeres, de la misma manera que el feminismo no es solo cosa de chicas. Estamos cambiando el mundo, estamos destruyendo estereotipos milenarios, y es evidente que si se altera el papel social femenino, es porque también muda el papel de los hombres.» Incluye el texto original de Historias de mujeres, publicado hace veinticuatro años, y añade noventa nuevos pequeños retratos, una ojeada rápida desde la antigüedad hasta nuestros días que nos permite atisbar la compleja riqueza de la aportación femenina a la vida común. Porque hay una historia que no está en la historia y que solo se puede rescatar aguzando el oído y escuchando el susurro de las mujeres. La porción invisible del iceberg de protagonistas silenciadas empieza a emerger ahora, y tiene unas dimensiones colosales. Ha habido mujeres en todas las épocas haciendo cosas memorables. No hay un solo campo social, artístico o del conocimiento en el que no hayamos destacado. Y se trata de un pasado que nos han robado a todos. »Pero tenemos que hacer algo más que cambiar la visión del pasado: es esencial que también cambiemos la visión del presente. La manera en que nos miramos a nosotras mismas. El mundo, nos decían y nos decíamos, es así. Pero no. Resulta que el mundo no es así. El futuro está aquí, el futuro es hoy y lo estamos construyendo hombres y mujeres. Por primera vez estamos todos. Aunque, para ello, también debamos abandonar nosotras muchos prejuicios sexistas. Así es que, hermanas, abramos nuestras fauces de dragonas y escupamos fuego.».-Rosa Montero ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A condemnation of the idea of a perfect woman. A catalogue of lives, of women both agreeable and terrible, pathetic and admirable, broken and triumphant. Unique women with fascinating lives. By the winner of Spain’s National Literature Award. “This book compiles an expanded version of the biographies of women that I published in the Sunday supplement of El País. I don’t really know how to define these works: although they are very well documented, they are neither academic biographies nor journalistic articles, but rather are impassioned, personal texts. They are stories of unique women whom I tried to understand. Some are generous while others are evil, cowardly or brave, turbulent or timid; all of them, however, are very original and some seem astonishing due to their extraordinary circumstances. But I believe that, no matter how odd they seem, we can always recognize ourselves in them. Each one of us holds inside us the lives of all others.” –Rosa Montero

Most recent books about Chiapas, Mexico, focus on political conflicts and the indigenous movement for human rights at the macro level. None has explored those conflicts and struggles in-depth through an individual woman's life story. The Journey of a Tzotzil-Maya Woman of Chiapas, Mexico now offers that perspective in one woman's own words. Anthropologist Christine Eber met "Antonia" in 1986 and has followed her life's journey ever since. In this book, they recount Antonia's life story and also reflect on challenges and rewards they have experienced in working together, offering insight into the role of friendship in anthropological research, as well as into the transnational movement of solidarity with the indigenous people of Chiapas that began with the Zapatista uprising. Antonia was born in 1962 in San Pedro Chenalhó, a Tzotzil-Maya township in highland Chiapas. Her story begins with memories of childhood and progresses to young adulthood, when Antonia began working with women in her community to form weaving cooperatives while also becoming involved in the Word of God, the progressive Catholic movement known elsewhere as Liberation Theology. In 1994, as a wife and mother of six children, she joined a support base for the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. Recounting her experiences in these three interwoven movements, Antonia offers a vivid and nuanced picture of working for social justice while trying to remain true to her people's traditions.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An exhilarating blend of autobiography and mythology, of world and self, of hot rage and cool analysis. First published in 1976, it has become a classic in its innovative portrayal of multiple and intersecting identities—immigrant, female, Chinese, American. • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER “A classic, for a reason.” —Celeste Ng, bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere and Our Missing Hearts, via Twitter As a girl, Kingston lives in two confounding worlds: the California to which her parents have immigrated and the China of her mother’s “talk stories.” The fierce and wily women warriors of her mother’s tales clash jarringly with the harsh reality of female oppression out of which they come. Kingston’s sense of self emerges in the mystifying gaps in these stories, which she learns to fill with stories of her own. A warrior of words, she forges fractured myths and memories into an incandescent whole, achieving a new understanding of her family’s past and her own present.

The Hebrew Bible and art reside at the core of this book, which analyzes the iconographic representation of several women of the Bible. The contributors consider the ways in which the biblical texts regarding these women had been read and understood throughout time and the means by which they were represented. Each study also explores the different values associated with these representations according to the problems, worries and concerns of each period. Drawing upon disciplines such as theology, philology or history of art, the essays within this volume provide a cross-sectional, plural and rich approach. In focusing upon iconographic representation, numerous visual cultures of the last millennium are explored, and special emphasis is placed upon several integral biblical women such as Bathsheba, Moses' mother, the Pharaoh's Daughter, Ruth, Naomi and Deborah, and their lasting influence upon Western art and culture. This book pursues an understanding of the history of the transmission and reception of the Bible in general, and of the women of the Old Testament in particular.

Una historia oral innovadora de mujeres en la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Europa y Rusia, del ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura NOMBRADO UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DEL AÑO POR The Washington Post • The Guardian • NPR • The Economist • Milwaukee Journal Sentinel • Revisiones de Kirkus Durante más de tres décadas, Svetlana Alexievich ha sido la memoria y la conciencia del siglo XX. Cuando la Academia Sueca le otorgó el Premio Nobel, citó su invención de "un nuevo tipo de género literario", describiendo su trabajo como "una historia de emociones". . . una historia del alma ". En La guerra no tiene rostro de mujer, Alexievich narra las experiencias de las mujeres soviéticas que lucharon en el frente, en el frente de casa y en los territorios ocupados. Estas mujeres, más de un millón en total, eran enfermeras y doctoras, pilotos, conductoras de tanques, ametralladoras y francotiradores. Lucharon junto a los hombres y, sin embargo, después de la victoria, sus esfuerzos y sacrificios fueron olvidados. Alexievich viajó miles de millas y visitó más de cien ciudades para registrar las historias de estas mujeres. En conjunto, esta sinfonía de voces revela un aspecto diferente de la guerra: los detalles cotidianos de la vida en combate que quedan fuera de las historias oficiales. «[...] por su escritura polifónica, que es un monumento al valor y al sufrimiento en nuestro tiempo.» Jurado de la Academia Sueca al otorgar a la autora el Premio Nobel de Literatura 2015. Reseña: «Gracias a Alexiévich, la historia de un millón de mujeres que participaron en el ejército soviético o como partisanas contra los alemanes es algo menos desconocida.» Felipe Sahagún, El Cultural de El Mundo «De la lectura de los libros de Alexiévich (Stanislaviv, 1948) no es posible salir indemne.» Gabriel Albiac, ABC Cultural ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A groundbreaking oral history of women in World War II across Europe and Russia—from the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • The Guardian • NPR • The Economist • Milwaukee Journal Sentinel • Kirkus Reviews For more than three decades, Svetlana Alexievich has been the memory and conscience of the twentieth century. When the Swedish Academy awarded her the Nobel Prize, it cited her invention of “a new kind of literary genre,” describing her work as “a history of emotions . . . a history of the soul.” In The Unwomanly Face of War, Alexievich chronicles the experiences of the Soviet women who fought on the front lines, on the home front, and in the occupied territories. These women—more than a million in total—were nurses and doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners, and snipers. They battled alongside men, and yet, after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were forgotten. Alexievich traveled thousands of miles and visited more than a hundred towns to record these women’s stories. Together, this symphony of voices reveals a different aspect of the war—the everyday details of life in combat left out of the official histories.

Containing roughly 850 entries about Spanish-language literature throughout the world, this expansive work provides coverage of the varied countries, ethnicities, time periods, literary movements, and genres of these writings. Providing a thorough introduction to Spanish-language literature worldwide and across time is a tall order. However, World Literature in Spanish: An Encyclopedia contains roughly 850 entries on both major and minor authors, themes, genres, and topics of Spanish literature from the Middle Ages to the present day, affording an amazingly comprehensive reference collection in a single work. This encyclopedia describes the growing diversity within national borders, the increasing interdependence among nations, and the myriad impacts of Spanish literature across the globe. All countries that produce literature in Spanish in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia are represented, covering both canonical authors and emerging contemporary writers and trends. Underrepresented writings—such as texts by women writers, queer and Afro-Hispanic texts, children's literature, and works on relevant but less studied topics such as sports and nationalism—also appear. While writings throughout the centuries are covered, those of the 20th and 21st centuries receive special consideration.
