The image of the flâneur walking the streets of 19th-century Paris has become a cultural icon. But what about the flâneuses? They also existed, even if they were made invisible or reviled. Their desire to make themselves present in the urban space and claim their own voice paved the way for a series of rights that we still need to consolidate today: the right to occupy the streets; the right to look without being seen; the right not to consume or be consumed; the right to exist alone; the right to authorship. This critical journey through the history of the flâneuses, which brings together a large group of writers, thinkers and activists, is fully valid and becomes a literary and feminist manifesto that claims walking as an act of insubordination. Anna María Iglesia (1986) has a degree in Italian philology and in literary theory and comparative literature, and a doctorate from the University of Barcelona with the thesis «The narrative of urban space and its practices. 19th-century Paris and flânerie». Cultural journalist, she collaborates with various media outlets —The Objective, El Confidencial, Letra Global, Turia, La esfera de Papel, Altaïr— where she writes mainly about literature and the publishing world. She is the editor-in-chief of the magazine Librújula in both the paper and digital editions. In addition to being a professional reader, she declares herself, above all, a vocational reader.
