Mujeres en el Filo de la Navaja : Activas, Rebeldes, Creativas, Inconformistas, Innovadoras...Espanolas del Siglo XX Que Rompieron Moldes, y Trataron de Buscar ""Su Lugar en el Mundo""frente A Prejuicios y Descriminaciones

A revealing look at the lives, concerns, fortunes, and misfortunes of women who shattered taboos, this book offers biographical portraits of 20th-century Spanish women who--in the arts, sciences, journalism, and politics--tried to leave an indelible mark in the face of a pervasive conformism. From the journalist Carmen de Burgos and the literary critic Maria Goyri, through the painter Maria Blanchard and the actress Ana Mariscal, to politician Carmen Diez de Rivera, a number of overlooked and unknown heroines are honored in this exploration.
