by Lydia Cacho (Author)
Lydia Cacho nos sorprende con una novela conmovedora y poderosa por partes iguales, un homenaje a la voz de las niñas y de todas aquellas mujeres que abrieron camino en la lucha por un mundo más justo desde la ternura revolucionaria.
Julieta es una chica de catorce años que busca el sentido de su vida en el México de los años sesenta, entre el rock y los movimientos feministas, la revolución sexual y la rebelión estudiantil frente a la dictadura del PRI. Clara, su madre, es una carismática psicóloga que lucha por los derechos de las mujeres, hija de exiliados españoles sobrevivientes de la persecución antirrepublicana de la dictadura franquista. Su padre, Fernando, es un buen hombre, heredero de una estirpe de poderosos militares, que vive en un constante enfrentamiento entre el amor hacia su esposa e hija rebeldes, y el cuestionamiento de su familia conservadora.
Julieta is a fourteen-year-old girl searching for the meaning of her life in 1960s Mexico, amid rock music and feminist movements, the sexual revolution, and the student rebellion against the PRI dictatorship. Clara, her mother, is a charismatic psychologist fighting for women's rights, the daughter of Spanish exiles who survived the anti-republican persecution of Franco's dictatorship. Her father, Fernando, is a good man, heir to a lineage of powerful military figures, who lives in constant conflict between his love for his rebellious wife and daughter and the questioning of his conservative family. Everything changes when Julieta accompanies her mother to the marches of October 2, 1968, and the one that culminates on October 10, 1971, known as El Halconazo.
The protagonist becomes witness to the clandestine meetings of brave social activists in Latin America who not only confront an oppressive, racist, and undemocratic system, but also the sexist structures of the student and leftist movements to which they belong. Throughout these pages, we accompany Julieta on an intimate journey spanning a decade of revelations in which she discovers the power of love, sex, identity, death, and the political power of rebellion and friendship.
