About the Book

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.
