(Mal) educadas

Good wives, concubines, lovers, daughters, mothers. Centuries of (bad) education have insisted on training women as good servants, always at the service of another. Even when school was out of reach, these inorganic teachings were repeated until they became a permanent substrate that still drives women to fulfill thousands of mandates to this day. This is what María Florencia Freijo maintains in (Mal) Educadas: that women have been and still are prepared, both from formal and informal education, to love without conditions at the risk of being left alone, to limit their own power and to give up their spaces and freedoms. With a keen historical look and a lucid and personal writing, the author finds in this bad education the thread that she has united for centuries, and still continues to unite, the destinies of many women who always deserved more.
