[Spanish] - Dicen de mí: Mujer y dinero: El éxito y el dinero en nuestros propios términos

"El audiolibro 'Dicen de mí: Mujer y dinero', es la tercera entrega de la serie sonora 'Dicen de mí. Mujeres y mitos de la sociedad', audiolibros que cuestiona algunos de los mitos que la sociedad construyó alrededor de las mujeres. Nos dijeron que 'el hombre llega hasta donde la mujer quiere', 'las mujeres somos terribles con el dinero', 'odiemos nuestro cuerpo', 'vestidas de rosa, dulces y calladitas se nos va a querer mejor', 'el peor enemigo de una mujer es otra mujer', 'la menstruación es un tabú' y tantas otras limitantes sociales que se han repetido hasta restringir o negar el desarrollo de las mujeres. Combatir el discurso machista y misógino de la sociedad comienza con el cuestionamiento de lo que nos han hecho creer que construye y representa a una mujer. Norma Cerros, experta en equidad de género, nos deja claro que aquello que dicen de mí es un mito y que debemos derribarlo. Esta serie pretende desromantizar algunos conceptos que señalan a las mujeres en su vida cotidiana y con sus pares, en relación con su cuerpo, su sexualidad y las interacciones sociales, familiares y profesionales."

Water in May

"Fifteen-year-old Mari Pujols believes that the baby she's carrying will finally mean she'll have a family member who will love her deeply and won't ever leave her—not like her mama, who took off when she was eight; or her papi, who's in jail; or her abuela, who wants as little to do with her as possible. But when doctors discover a potentially fatal heart defect in the fetus, Mari faces choices she never could have imagined. Surrounded by her loyal girl crew, her off-and-on boyfriend, and a dedicated doctor, Mari navigates a decision that could emotionally cripple the bravest of women. But both Mari and the broken-hearted baby inside her are fighters; and it doesn't take long to discover that this sick baby has the strength to heal an entire family."

Problem IX. Violet’s Own

"Anna Katharine Green was born in Brooklyn, New York on November 11th, 1846.Anna’s initial ambition was to be a poet. However that path failed to ignite any significant interest and she turned to fiction writing. She published her first―and most famous work in 1878―‘The Leavenworth Case’. Wilkie Collins praised it and it sold extremely well.It led to Anna writing 40 novels and to becoming known as ‘the mother of the detective novel.’In helping to shape the genre she brought many other innovations including a series detective: her main character was detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, but in three novels he is assisted by the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, another innovation and a prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and others. She also invented the 'girl detective': in the character of Violet Strange, a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth. Anna’s other innovations included the now familiar dead bodies in libraries, newspaper clippings as "clews," the coroner's inquest, and expert witnesses. Yale Law School once used her books to demonstrate how damaging it can be to rely on circumstantial evidence.Her career was now well advanced and she was much admired. On November 25, 1884, Green married the actor and stove designer, and later noted furniture maker, Charles Rohlfs, who was seven years her junior. They had three children; Rosamund, Roland and Sterling.Although Anna was a progressive she did not approve of many of her feminist contemporaries, and was opposed to women's suffrage.On November 25, 1884, Anna married the actor and noted furniture maker, Charles Rohlfs, who was seven years her junior. They had three children; Rosamund, Roland and Sterling.Anna Katharine Green died on April 11, 1935 in Buffalo, New York, at the age of 88."

Perilous Play

"Louisa May Alcott was born on 29th November 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania.She is most definitely a writer of her own experiences. Her father was a transcendentalist, philosopher and educational experimenter who founded, Fruitlands, a utopian community. Although poor, her liberal and progressive parents provided Louisa with much of her education, which was enhanced by many family friends that included Thoreau, Hawthorne and Emerson, a neighbour whose library she was often found reading in. She started writing stories as a way of providing the family with some financial stability. Times were difficult and the effects of poverty were always close at hand. During the Civil War she went to Washington to be a nurse and became ill with typhoid fever although she continued to write and build her success. However, the treatment for typhus gave her mercury poisoning which caused further health issues for the rest of her life and eventually contributed to her death. Alcott visited her father on his deathbed in Boston. Two days later on 6th March 1888 she also died resulting in a joint funeral. Well-loved for her classic ‘Little Women’ she was a superb writer in difficult times for any woman, a strong advocate of women’s issues, the anti-slavery movement, temperance and social reform. Her work often reflects on the rich experiences in her life and these poignant short stories are a fine testament to this. Additionally under pseudonyms she wrote dozens of gothic thrillers and sensation stories. She is also famed for her children’s stories."
