Nos quisieron histéricas, nos volvimos históricas

For a long time, we believed that history had already been written. Recent discoveries opened the door, but it is a new perspective that has transformed our understanding of the past. What was taken for granted for centuries is now being questioned, and history is beginning to reclaim an essential part of itself. From Lucy—one of the first faces of humanity—to Marie Curie and Malala Yousafzai, and including the pioneers who changed science, politics, literature, and archaeology, this book recovers the lives of those who were silenced or relegated to a footnote. Women who ruled empires, directed excavations, wrote the first texts in history, changed our perception of the world, or opened paths that others would later follow. Lidia San José Segura travels through thousands of years of history to restore these women to the place that always belonged to them and offer us a new way of understanding our past.
