Pioneras del feminismo

In the 14th century, Christine de Pizan started a trend that evolved over time into the feminist movement. Considered the first female writer, she was one of the pioneers in advocating that women should receive the same education as men. Others would follow this first claim. Illustrious women - long silenced or not recognized enough - such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Emmeline Pankhurst or Clara Campoamor, would fight valiantly to achieve advances for women. In this book, Sandra Ferrer, a journalist specializing in the history of women, traces the vivid history of the pioneers of feminism from the Middle Ages to the present day. Through the lives of outstanding women who broke the schemes of their time, the author reminds us that the feminist struggle goes back a long time and that each of the women in this book contributed to build the edifice that feminism is today. This fascinating account of the lives of these pioneers and those who surrounded and supported them, told with skill and humanity, illustrates the complex situation in which women found themselves in the past and sheds light on the origins of a movement that still struggles today. for equality in our society.
