Overview
Reescribir nuestra historia también es leerla en femenino.
¿Sabías quién fue la primera persona en firmar un texto? ¿O que ni Jane Austen ni Emily Brontë vieron nunca sus nombres en uno de sus libros? La historia de la literatura está llena de mujeres borradas, silenciadas o escondidas tras nombres que no eran los suyos. Durante siglos, el patriarcado decidió quién merecía ser leído y quién debía quedarse en la sombra. Y sorpresa: casi siempre eran ellas.
La literatura no solo refleja el mundo: lo escribe. Y mientras las mujeres sigan sin ocupar sus páginas, el relato estará incompleto. Géneros menospreciados y catalogados como chick lit, mujeres borradas de portadas para dirigirlas a un público más amplio, personajes femeninos descritos a través de y para la male gaze. Ha llegado la hora de reescribir la historia.
Andrea Martínez, creadora de contenido y divulgadora literaria, da voz a las mujeres que se negaron a desaparecer. Con un enfoque fresco y una mirada crítica, nos invita a entender cómo hemos llegado hasta aquí y a reclamar juntas un espacio que también nos pertenece.
¿Qué encontrarás en este libro?
- La historia de las autoras que el canon quiso borrar.
- Una mirada feminista y crítica que desmonta la male gaze en el mundo literario.
- Una invitación a recuperar la voz de las mujeres y reivindicar nuestro lugar en los libros.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Rewriting our history also means reading it from a female perspective.
Did you know who was the first person to sign a text with their name? Or that neither Jane Austen nor Emily Brontë ever saw their names on one of their books? The history of literature is filled with women erased, silenced, or hidden behind names that were not their own. For centuries, the patriarchy decided who deserved to be read and who should remain in the shadows. And surprise, surprise: it was almost always women.
Literature doesn't just reflect the world: it writes it. And as long as women continue to be absent from its pages, the story will be incomplete. Genres disparaged and labeled as chick lit, women erased from covers to appeal to a wider audience, female characters described through and for the male gaze. The time has come to rewrite history.
Andrea Martínez, content creator and literary promoter, gives a voice to the women who refused to disappear. With a fresh approach and a critical eye, she invites us to understand how we got here and to reclaim together a space that also belongs to us.
What will you find in this book?
- The history of the authors that the canon wanted to erase.
- A feminist and critical perspective that dismantles the male gaze in the literary world.
- An invitation to reclaim the women’s voices and reclaim our place in books.
