by Ángeles Caso (Author)

Hace casi dos décadas Ángeles Caso iniciaba con Las olvidadas un proyecto único: la reconstrucción de una genealogía cultural femenina formada por todas las mujeres que rompieron con lo que la sociedad pretendía imponerles y se atrevieron a vivir a contracorriente, a crear y pensar un mundo mejor, aunque solo recibieran a cambio el desprecio de la crítica y el canon.

Las desheredadas aborda los siglos XVIII y XIX, una época crucial en la historia de Occidente, germen de la que vivimos hoy. Es el tiempo de pintoras como Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun o Adélaïde Labille-Guiard; de las ilustradas lady Mary Montagu o la duquesa de Osuna; de científicas como la marquesa de Châtelet y Ada Lovelace; de las revolucionarias traicionadas como Olympe de Gouges y Mary Wollstonecraft; de escritoras como Mary Shelley, las Brontë o Emilia Pardo Bazán; de las primeras feministas como Flora Tristan, Concepción Arenal o Rosario de Acuña; de las impresionistas como Berthe Morisot o Camille Claudel... Se dedicaron a las artes, al pensamiento, lucharon por la libertad y los derechos de los más desfavorecidos, pero la burguesía ilustrada y liberal acabó imponiendo el relato oficial. Y en él no hubo cabida para ellas. De ese rechazo nacería el feminismo, que iniciaba entonces su carrera imparable.

Ángeles Caso funde géneros literarios y nos entrega una obra emocionante, reivindicativa y profundamente rigurosa sobre las heroínas que osaron alzar la voz y la cabeza. Este libro ilumina por un momento las vidas de algunas de ellas para que nos permitan sentir el deseo de iluminar las de las demás.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Nearly two decades ago, Ángeles Caso published Las olvidadas, the first part of a unique project to reconstruct a cultural female genealogy of all those women who broke with societal expectations and dared to live unconventional lives and imagine to create a better world, despite critical and official scorn.

The Disowned covers the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a crucial time in Western history that gave rise to many of today's conventions. This was the era of painters such as Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun and Adélaïde Labille-Guiard; Enlightenment figures Mary Montagu and the Duchess of Osuna; scientists such as the Marquise of Châtelet and Ada Lovelace; frustrated revolutionaries the likes of Olympe de Gouges and Mary Wollstonecraft; the writers Mary Shelley, the Brontë sisters and Emilia Pardo Bazán; early feminists such as Flora Tristan, Concepción Arenal and Rosario de Acuña; the Impressionists Berthe Morisot and Camille Claudel... Devoted to the arts, philosophy, freedom and the rights of the downtrodden, they were censored by the liberal bourgeoisie, which could find no place for them. These repeated rejections planted the seeds of feminism, which proved to be an unstoppable force.

Ángeles Caso fuses literary genres to bring us this exciting, validating and deeply rigorous account of some of history's heroines, who dared raise their heads and their voices. By profiling their causes, she encourages today's women to pursue their own.
