Overview
“Sólo conociendo la historia del feminismo en México entenderemos que no nació para ser ‘opositor’ de un político, ni somos ‘infiltradas’ como lo han dicho siempre para atacarnos. ”En 2018, con la llegada de la izquierda al poder se esperaban los tiros de precisión. […] ¿El gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador es el más feminista de la historia? Ahí está el periodismo para verificarlo.” —Nayeli Roldán
El ESTADO MACHISTA y sus decisiones, el covid-19, la crisis económica subsecuente y la violencia brutal se han ensaña - do con las mexicanas. Ante esto, la palabra y la sororidad, los datos irrefutables, la explicación, la inteligencia y el diálogo son sus armas. En esta obra, seis periodistas de primer nivel —coordinadas por Nayeli Roldán, ganadora del premio Ortega y Gasset y del Premio Nacional de Periodismo 2018— ofrecen reportajes que retratan, con sensibilidad combativa, la situación actual de las mujeres, las consecuencias de las políticas públicas vigentes, el estado de las luchas feministas y los escenarios que se avizoran.
Amenudo pienso que ese “si tocan a una, respondemos todas” entraña una verdad
perturbadora, es así porque todas o casi —nueve de cada diez, dirán las estadísticas— hemos sufrido algún tipo de violencia.
¿O de qué tamaño es el espectro de lo que no vemos, de lo que aún no se ha contado? ¿Cuántas historias caben entre la de esa anciana que camina encorvada por las calles, con el cuerpo roto por su marido y Fátima, la niña de doce años que no pudo recoger su premio de declamación de poesía? —Alma Delia Murillo, del prólogo
“Nos tenemos unas a otras y sabemos, lo hemos sabido por generaciones, que para cambiar este sistema patriarcal, vio - lento y feminicida necesitamos estar juntas y organizadas.” —Alma Delia Murillo, del Prólogo
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Only by learning the story of feminism in Mexico we will understand that it didn’t come to be to ‘oppose’ a politician, and neither are we ‘infiltrators’, as we have been called as a form of attack since the beginning. In 2018, with the left finally in power, accurate shots were expected... Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s government is the most feminist in history? We can let journalism corroborate that.” —Nayeli Roldán
“THE SEXIST ESTATE and its decisions, COVID-19, the ensuing financial crisis, and brutal violence have been particularly harsh against Mexican women. In view of this, words and sorority, irrefutable data, explanations, intelligence, and dialogue are our weapons. In this book, six top journalists, coordinated by Nayeli Roldán, recipient of the Ortega y Gasset Award, and the National Journalism Award in 2018, offer stories to portray, with combative sensibility, the current situation of women, the consequences of current public policies, the state of feminist struggle, and the envisioned scenarios.
“I often think that the line ‘If you touch one, we all answer’ entails a troubling truth, because all of us or almost all of us—nine out of ten women, according to the statistics—have suffered some kind of violence.
“How wide is the range of what we don’t see, what hasn’t been told yet? How many stories could we find in that hunched-over old woman we see walking by the street, her body broken by her husband, and Fátima, the twelve-year-old girl who couldn’t pick up her poetry prize?
“We have one another, and we know, as we have known for generations now, that to change this patriarchal, violent system that is killing women, we must stand together and organize.” —Alma Delia Murillo, from the Prologue
