Vírgenes, esposas, amantes y putas

Virgins, wives, lovers and whores | Planeta/Martínez Roca, 2021

The puzzle of what it means to be a woman in today’s society.

For centuries, women have occupied—alone and without protest—the roles assigned to them. Fortunately, fear and guilt have begun to give way to a struggle to dismantle the stigmas that restrict their freedom.

Drawing on her own personal experiences, Amarna Miller examines the puzzle of what it means to be a woman in contemporary society: from the fear of rape to issues stemming from low self-esteem; from abusive relationships to the fear of aging; and from double standards to the guilt experienced in the realm of sexuality.
