Monstresses and Centaurettes. The New Language of Feminism

Monstruas y centauras

Three events and a judicial sentence (the #MeToo movement, the letter written by French intellectual women, the feminist march of March 8th and the Manada sentence) have marked the agenda of the last months and have put the spotlight on today’s concept of feminism. Marta Sanz reflects on what it means, how to position oneself in the face of these facts, how to “protect the feminist fight from simplification and commercialization—from a capitalism that can absorb everything. A reflection in the thread of events of a woman who asks herself, in her public and private actions, through each gesture and each word, which is the way to equality.
