Joana Biarnés. No será fácil : Historia de una pionera del fotoperiodismo

Joana Biarnés' life is that of a woman who refused to accept the limitations imposed by her time. In the midst of the dictatorship, when many women were relegated to an invisible role, she picked up a camera and forged her own path, becoming the first female photographer hired by a newspaper in Spain. With determination and talent, she photographed figures like Orson Welles and the Beatles, while building an exceptional career in a world governed by inertia and male privilege. But her story is also one of unjust silence: in the 1980s, she abandoned photojournalism, reinvented herself away from the spotlight, and faded into obscurity. It wasn't until decades later that, almost without seeking it, she received the recognition she had always deserved. Jordi Rovira's biography recovers her memory with rigor and sensitivity, and returns Joana Biarnés to her rightful place: that of an undisputed pioneer and one of the great voices in Spanish photography.
