Hace casi dos d???cadas ???ngeles Caso iniciaba con Las olvidadas un proyecto ???nico: la reconstrucci???n de una genealog???a cultural femenina formada por todas las mujeres que rompieron con lo que la sociedad pretend???a imponerles y se atrevieron a vivir a contracorriente, a crear y pensar un mundo mejor, aunque solo recibieran a cambio el desprecio de la cr???tica y el canon. Las desheredadas aborda los siglos XVIII y XIX, una ???poca crucial en la historia de Occidente, germen de la que vivimos hoy. Es el tiempo de pintoras como ???lisabeth Vig???e Le Brun o Ad???la???de Labille-Guiard; de las ilustradas lady Mary Montagu o la duquesa de Osuna; de cient???ficas como la marquesa de Ch???telet y Ada Lovelace; de las revolucionarias traicionadas como Olympe de Gouges y Mary Wollstonecraft; de escritoras como Mary Shelley, las Bront??? o Emilia Pardo Baz???n; de las primeras feministas como Flora Tristan, Concepci???n Arenal o Rosario de Acu???a; 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 m???s desfavorecidos, pero la burgues???a ilustrada y liberal acab??? imponiendo el relato oficial. Y en ???l no hubo cabida para ellas. De ese rechazo nacer???a el feminismo, que iniciaba entonces su carrera imparable. ???ngeles Caso funde g???neros literarios y nos entrega una obra emocionante, reivindicativa y profundamente rigurosa sobre las hero???nas 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 dem???s. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Nearly two decades ago, ???ngeles 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 ???lisabeth Vig???e Le Brun and Ad???la???de Labille-Guiard; Enlightenment figures Mary Montagu and the Duchess of Osuna; scientists such as the Marquise of Ch???telet and Ada Lovelace; frustrated revolutionaries the likes of Olympe de Gouges and Mary Wollstonecraft; the writers Mary Shelley, the Bront??? sisters and Emilia Pardo Baz???n; early feminists such as Flora Tristan, Concepci???n Arenal and Rosario de Acu???a; 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. ???ngeles 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.
