When the United States became a country, women had very few rights. Women could not own property or go to some colleges. Women were not allowed to vote. The fight to allow women to vote was called the Suffrage Movement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were two leaders of the Suffrage Movement. They gave speeches and wrote articles about giving the right to vote to other people, especially women. Stanton and Anthony were close friends and made a great team. They organized groups, wrote petitions, gave speeches, and stood firm in the face of opposition. These two brave women paved the way for future suffragists and helped start the movement that would end with the Nineteenth Amendment and voting rights for women.
Brave women began to fight for equality early in America’s history. They wanted equal rights. They led by example and worked hard to change laws. Some of these women fought for America’s freedom and helped create the laws of the new nation. Women worked to end slavery. Female pioneers helped expand the boundaries of the nation. And other women changed lives with medical care. Women’s lives did not change overnight. One step at a time, American women moved closer to equality with men. This book is about the brave women who took those first steps toward change.
El mejor libro de relatos de terror de latinoamérica.Su autor, JC. Pozo, nos dice: 'Los fantasmas que me visitaron en mi niñez y los posteriores de mi juventud, me dejaron, me abandonaron, se salieron de mis sueños arrastrados por el llamado de sus historias escritas. El azar me mostró el camino, cuando constaté que mientras más escribía de ellos, más se esfumaban. Me di cuenta afortunadamente que ese era el remedio. El mejor exorcismo. Lo hubiera descubierto antes y me hubiera evitado años de zozobra. Ahora ellos viven en empolvados manuscritos espantando eternamente a pobres y patéticos personajes que aún con una familiaridad aplastante, se siguen horrorizando en cada aparición, con cada vuelta de página. Yo ya no los leo.'
En el ombligo de la luna se habla de todos nosotros. En una época en donde el miedo anda suelto, necesitamos historias que nos permitan lidiar con nuestros temores. Paradójicamente, el miedo nos permite examinarnos y en la historia de horror encontramos el sentido de un mundo sinsentido. Ahí está JCPozo para contarlas.
Cuando terminamos de leer el libro, nos hacemos una última pregunta. ¿En verdad existen los fantasmas o son el resultado de una alucinación colectiva? ¿Se trata de los delirios de una persona trastornada o tal vez con personalidad esquizoide que quiere contarnos un cuento que supone real pero que no lo es? ¿Es acaso la representación del lado oscuro e irracional de un niño atormentado por sus culpas, un demonio renuente a ser exorcizado, una memoria deficiente o un trauma infantil convertido en un monstruo aterrador?
