The painter and writer Paula Bonet (Vila-Real, 1980), author of well-known works such as La sed or  Roedores , and the writer, journalist and poet Luna Miguel (Alcalá de Henares, 1990), author of El colloquio de las perras or El Lolita's funeral , inaugurated last Thursday the Women of Today conference series , launched by the Cañada Blanch Foundation together with the Vice-Rectorate of Culture and Sports of the University of Valencia . The work of both artists places a combative feminist spirit in the foreground, still capable of making a large part of the public uncomfortable. We had the opportunity to chat with them hours before their intervention at the Jardí Botànic .

Remember an Argentine feminist journalist, Luciana Peker , from whom I have learned a lot. I think the feminist movement in Argentina is one of the largest right now, at all levels, and Peker said that she noticed how since the press was talking  Country Email List  about femicides , those femicides seemed much more violent: the rapes were more violent, The abuse was much more visible. In Spain, the more times we take to the streets, the more times the retrograde parties take to the streets, the more rights we demand, the more rights they want to cut off from us, now with the “parental pin” debate… These are people who not only collide against that wall I was talking about before, but on top of that they want to put a veil in the eyes of future generations.



Throughout history the same thing has always happened. When we manage to reach a certain place, we cannot allow ourselves to be carried away by inertia, we cannot take for granted that what we have achieved is immovable, we cannot stop being alert, because at the minimum what we have achieved will be taken away from us, it will go away. to try to discredit. They accuse us of always being angry. And we have all the arguments in the world to defend this anger. We were angry for a long time, and we hid it. We tried to achieve objectives from the place where the patriarchy wanted to place us.
