Un relato emocionante, profundo y divertido de la historia de la humanidad en clave femenina. Juana de Arco, Malinche, Sofonisba Anguissola, Mary Wollstonecraft, Victoria Kent, Jane Austen, Marie Curie, Simone Weil o Rosa Parks tambi???n estuvieron ah???. Con brillantez y elegancia, Cristina O???oro construye un fascinante relato que desmonta las narraciones sobre la humanidad y derriba los discursos mis???ginos heredados. A partir de una maravillosa red de conexiones entre experiencias femeninas, Cristina O???oro cuenta otra historia del mundo, empleando para ello un sinf???n de detalles memorables y an???cdotas curiosas, as??? como los ???ltimos avances de la investigaci???n especializada sobre sus protagonistas. Las que faltaban recorre con rigor algunos momentos hist???ricos cargados de significado, desde la oscuridad de las cavernas prehist???ricas hasta la Guerra de Afganist???n, pero tambi???n de la literatura, el arte, la filosof???a y la ciencia para tratar de iluminar, con notables dosis de iron???a y erudici???n, las zonas de sombra en las que se ha relegado a las mujeres. El resultado es una nueva ???pica, atrevida y poderosa, que desmitifica la construcci???n heroica y violenta del pasado en favor de una visi???n del mundo profundamente relacional y abierta a lo posible. De la mano de la autora, el lector descubrir??? a las amigas de Juana de Arco, se reir??? con las confusiones ling??????sticas entre Malinche y Hern???n Cort???s durante la Conquista y se asombrar??? ante los malabares de los Curie para lograr cierta conciliaci???n familiar y que Marie tambi???n pudiera quedarse en el laboratorio hasta tarde. Sin caer en la tentaci???n de presentar a sus protagonistas como excepciones, Las que faltaban traza una aut???ntica genealog???a y en sus p???ginas vemos desfilar a muchas otras mujeres, como las comadronas del mundo cl???sico, la hija de Cleopatra, la escritora Christine de Pizan, las damas de la corte de Isabelle de Valois, Mary Shelley y Cassandra Austen, las alumnas de la Residencia de Se???oritas de Madrid, las activistas Gloria Steinem y Dorothy Pitman Hughes o escritoras chicanas como Gloria Anzald???a. Las incisivas observaciones de Virginia Woolf, as??? como una amplia selecci???n de im???genes, acompa???an la lectura del libro, en el que tambi???n se recorre de forma sutil la historia del pensamiento feminista. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A personal, exciting, and fun tale of the history of humankind, told in female code. Joan of Arc, Malinche, Sofonisba Anguissola, Mary Wollstonecraft, Victoria Kent, Jane Austen, Marie Curie, Simone Weil and Rosa Parks were also there. Elegantly and brilliantly, Cristina O???oro builds a fascinating tale that dismantles the narrative about humanity and brings down the hereditary misogynistic discourse. From a wonderful network connecting female experiences, Cristina O???oro tells a different story of the world, using endless memorable details and curious anecdotes, as well as the latest advancements in specialized research about her protagonists. Those Missing rigorously covers some historical episodes charged with meaning, from the darkness in prehistoric caverns, to the war in Afghanistan, but also literature, art, philosophy, and science, trying to bring light, with a notable measure of irony and erudition, into those shadowy places these women have been shunted off to. The result is a new epic, bold and powerful, that demystifies the heroic and violent construction of the past in favor of a world view profoundly relational and open to possibility. By the author's hand, the reader will meet Joan of Arc's friends, will laugh over the linguistic mi
