Overview
PREMIO NACIONAL DE LAS LETRAS 2017
«Este libro reúne, en una versión más ampliada, las biografías de mujeres que publiqué en el suplemento dominical de El País. No sé bien dónde encuadrar estos trabajos: aunque están muy documentados, no son ni biografías académicas ni artículos periodísticos, sino unos textos muy apasionados, muy personales. Son historias de mujeres singulares a las que intenté entender. Las hay generosas y las hay malvadas, cobardes o valientes, turbulentas o tímidas; todas son, eso sí, muy originales y algunas resultan pasmosas por lo extraordinario de sus peripecias. Pero creo que, por muy raras que parezcan, siempre podemos reconocernos en ellas. Y es que cada uno de nosotros encierra dentro de sí todas las vidas.»
Rosa Montero

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A condemnation of the idea of a perfect woman. A catalogue of lives, of women both agreeable and terrible, pathetic, and admirable, broken and triumphant. Unique women with fascinating lives.
By the winner of Spain’s National Literature Award.
“This book compiles an expanded version of the biographies of women that I published in the Sunday supplement of El País. I don’t really know how to define these works: although they are very well documented, they are neither academic biographies nor journalistic articles, but rather are impassioned, personal texts. They are stories of unique women whom I tried to understand. Some are generous while others are evil, cowardly or brave, turbulent or timid; all of them, however, are very original and some seem astonishing due to their extraordinary circumstances. But I believe that, no matter how odd they seem, we can always recognize ourselves in them. Each one of us holds inside us the lives of all others.” –Rosa Montero
