Nosotras. Historias de mujeres y algo más / Us: Stories of Women and More
Edici n especial de uno de los libros fundamentales de Rosa Montero, Premio Nacional de las Letras 2017. Una obra pionera en la reivindicaci n del papel de la mujer en la historia a trav s de las biograf as de sus protagonistas. Ilustrada por Mar a 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 tambi n muda el papel de los hombres. Incluye el texto original de Historias de mujeres, publicado hace veinticuatro a os, y a ade noventa nuevos peque os retratos, una ojeada r pida desde la antig edad hasta nuestros d as que nos permite atisbar la compleja riqueza de la aportaci n femenina a la vida com n. Porque hay una historia que no est en la historia y que solo se puede rescatar aguzando el o do y escuchando el susurro de las mujeres. La porci n invisible del iceberg de protagonistas silenciadas empieza a emerger ahora, y tiene unas dimensiones colosales. Ha habido mujeres en todas las pocas haciendo cosas memorables. No hay un solo campo social, art stico 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 m s que cambiar la visi n del pasado: es esencial que tambi n cambiemos la visi n del presente. La manera en que nos miramos a nosotras mismas. El mundo, nos dec an y nos dec amos, es as . Pero no. Resulta que el mundo no es as . El futuro est aqu , el futuro es hoy y lo estamos construyendo hombres y mujeres. Por primera vez estamos todos. Aunque, para ello, tambi n debamos abandonar nosotras muchos prejuicios sexistas. As 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 Pa s. 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
