Joan of Arc, Malinche, Sofonisba Anguissola, Mary Wollstonecraft, Victoria Kent, Jane Austen, Marie Curie, Simone Weil and Rosa Parks were also there. With brilliance and elegance, Cristina Oñoro constructs a fascinating story that dismantles the narratives about humanity and demolishes inherited misogynistic discourses.
From a wonderful network of connections between female experiences, Cristina Oñoro tells another story of the world, using to do so a host of memorable details and curious anecdotes, as well as the latest advances in specialized research on its protagonists. Las que pierden rigorously covers some historical moments loaded with meaning, from the darkness of prehistoric caves to the Afghan War, but also from literature, art, philosophy and science to try to illuminate, with notable doses of irony and erudition, the shadowy areas to which women have been relegated. The result is a new epic, daring and powerful, which demystifies the heroic and violent construction of the past in favor of a vision of the world that is deeply relational and open to the possible.
