Aquellos que escriben la historia han temido siempre a las mujeres rebeldes, sin miedo, poderosas, libres. Un recorrido fascinante desde la Antigüedad para entender la forma en que se construye esa idea terrible: la de una mujer poderosa.

La mujer ha sido asociada a lo largo de la historia con muchos elementos ajenos al centro de poder: representadas por la naturaleza, la magia y la sexualidad, las mujeres son un elemento peligroso desde el mismo momento en que son concebidas. Ellas seductoras, histéricas, individuos sangrantes, conspiradoras...

Para entender lo que podemos llegar a ser hay que comprender los mecanismos que han cortado una y otra vez las alas a esas mujeres del pasado: cómo se nos ha contado la historia, de dónde vienen esas imágenes que repetimos una y otra vez en cuentos, relatos, películas y novelas. Porque ni Cleopatra fue tan bruja, ni las brujas fueron tan malas, ni las malas lo eran
tanto.

Desde los mitos clásicos de figuras ominosas como Medusa o Artemis hasta las advertencias contra las sirenas o las brujas, pasando por figuras maltratadas por la historia oficial como Agripina o Mesalina, Patricia González mira a la Antigüedad para entender esa historia de las mujeres temidas y poderosas como elemento perturbador.

Un recorrido completo, ameno y riguroso, de la mano de una divulgadora tan provocadora como precisa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Those who write history have always feared rebellious, fearless, powerful, free women. A fascinating journey from ancient times to understand how this terrible idea is built: the idea of a powerful woman.

Women throughout history have been associated with many elements foreign to the heart of power: represented by nature, magic, and sexuality, women have been a dangerous element since the moment they are conceived. They are seductive, hysterical, bleeding individuals, conspirators...

To understand what we could become, we must understand the mechanisms that have clipped women's wings in the past, over and over: how history has been told, where those images we keep using in short stories, tales, movies, and novels come from. Because Cleopatra was not really a witch, and witches were not that evil, and evil women weren't really that bad.

From the classical myths of ominous figures, such as Medusa or Artemis, to warnings against sirens and witches, to figures abused by official history, such as Agrippina o Messalina, Patricia González looks back at antiquity to understand the history of feared and powerful women as a disturbing element.

A full, enjoyable, and rigorous journey by the hand of a communicator as provocative as she is accurate.

Weird smell
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
The pillows are great for someone looking for something cool and comfortable. We loved them so much that we bought a second pair. However, we were seriously disappointed with the odor of our last purchase. They give off a strong and indescribable chemical/burning plastic smell so nauseating that it’s difficult to sleep with. We’re hoping this issue will resolve with a couple more washes of the pillow cases, but am worried the source is the stuffing itself.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Best pillow ever!
Size: King (2 Pack)
I love this pillow. I like a softer pillow and my partner prefers a firmer pillow. With these pillows you can adjust it to the comfort level you desire. For mine I took out quite a bit of the shredded memory foam (I call it fluff). I took out one 13 gallon trash bag of the fluff. After I slept on my pillow for a couple of weeks I found it was getting to soft so I took my saved bag of fluff and added it into the pillow. Now it's PERFECT! The cooling side works great. When you lay your head down on it you can feel the cool pillow. Helps falling a sleep easier. I would highly recommend this pillow!

Great Pillows for a Good Night’s Sleep
Size: Queen (2 pack), Size: Queen (2 pack)
These pillows are very comfortable and supportive. They keep their shape well and provide great neck and head support throughout the night. The material feels soft and high quality, and they helped improve my sleep. I wake up without neck pain and feel well rested. Definitely worth it.
