Sample Book Insights:
#1 My anger against machismo began in my childhood years, when I saw my mother and the housemaids as victims. I became obsessed with justice and developed a visceral reaction to male chauvinism.
#2 I was expelled from school at age six, accused of insubordination. It was a prelude to my future, since I was always rebellious. I couldn’t have had a better father, but I couldn’t understand or accept his lack of control over his life.
#3 My father’s abandonment of me and my sister is not an exception in Chile. Women are the pillar of the family and community, and men are the bosses only in their families.
#4 Feminism is not about replicating the disaster. It’s about mending it. As a result, it faces powerful reactionary forces like fundamentalism, fascism, and tradition.
