Misógino feminista

It has been said that Carlos Monsiváis alternates his misogyny with a fiery defense of feminism. From this defense, we realize that the writings collected in this volume are dedicated to analyzing the works of such authors as Simone de Beauvoir, Susan Sontag, and Rosario Castellanos, and the dismantling of the institutionalized machismo structures of the church, politics, and culture. The book attempts to investigate, defend, and stimulate the forefront of the struggles for the rights of women in Mexico. This collection presents a parallel history of the feminist movement in Mexico, written with the conviction of something that can explode, and hopes to correct the historical backwardness that still plagues Mexico.
