Book Synopsis
La fascinante historia gráfica de la virginidad desde la Antigua Roma, pasando por la Virgen María, Juana de Arco e incluso Britney Spears. ¿Por qué el concepto de la virginidad está tan presente y es tan importante en todas las culturas? ¿Por qué ha sido y sigue siendo un tabú? ¿Por qué suele jugar en contra de las mujeres? Y, sobre todo, ¿cómo influye sobre nosotras en las sociedades actuales? Dos brillantes feministas (la autora Élise Thiébaut y la ilustradora Elléa Bird) de dos generaciones muy diferentes se unen para contar la historia de este concepto sin olvidar sus experiencias personales. Con ingenio y humor, este libro abarca la historia gráfica de la virginidad con una mirada aguda, atrevida y feminista. ¿Qué encontrarás en este libro? * Siete capítulos protagonizados por diversas mujeres a lo largo de la historia. * Con humor, referentes históricos y actuales e ilustraciones llamativas * Una narración divertida e irreverente que te invitará a cuestionarte todo lo que creías saber sobre la virginidad ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A fascinating graphic history of virginity going back to Ancient Rome, from the Virgin Mary and Joan of Arc to Britney Spears.
