It never hurts to reinforce the example to overcome adverse situations. And let's say that the process towards the equality of women always seems to be found in that adverse space of contempt for its own sake.
Feminism is as necessary as any other movement that seeks equality, be it for remote minorities or for under-considered majorities. And from that well understood feminism goes this book Good night tales for rebel girls.
Two young authors, Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo, have taken common rein in this work, to complete an impressive chorus of female voices in History
In the first place, what the book tries to tear from consciousness are the old labels, the tribal roles that still prevail in many spaces and that relegate the image of women to a second or third plane.
From the perspective of the opportunistic and cynical man, a kind of natural order of things, customs, can be thought of as necessary guidelines for the maintenance of status. But the truth is that what there is is that the woman was aware of her equality from the first moment we left the cave. Everything else has been a long and tedious process for them of recognition and equalization.
And in it they continue, and therefore these books. And hence the need for the example of many women who reached unsuspected goals in fields where they were undervalued for their own sake. From science to sports through the humanities, astronomy, all kinds of institutions and the business world, that is: everything.
Examples of women whose profiles, biographies and stories should take the place of other bedside books of yesteryear, where girls ended up asleep between misty dreams of princesses who were only born to find and serve Prince Charming.
