But when Ana comes to see them, she realizes that these women, whose day-to-day existences now seem mundane, experienced firsthand an incredibly tumultuous and fascinating period of Spanish history. \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWe're All Just Fine\u003c\/i\u003e, Penyas weaves the memories of her grandmothers to craft a narrative quilt that pieces together what it was like for women to assimilate to Spain's dramatic political and cultural shifts in the late 1970s and '80s. The sudden transition from the authoritarian, repressive Franco regime to lively and liberating democracy was at once incredibly freeing but also destabilizing for women used to their traditional roles as dutiful housewives. Through this intimate lens into her grandmothers' daily struggle -- of their silence, the small acts of rebellion, and great gestures of resilience -- Penyas gives voice to an entire generation of \"invisible'' women whose stories have rarely been told. Combining collage and rough-hewn pencil drawings, and mixing past and present, Penyas offers a decidedly feminist tribute to the forgotten lives and legacies of her grandmothers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49667346170129,"sku":"GOR013023957","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746221695249,"sku":"NGR9781683965800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51047439171857,"sku":"NIN9781683965800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1683965809.jpg?v=1781171372"},{"product_id":"todo-bajo-el-sol-all-under-the-sun-book-ana-penyas-9788416131785","title":"Todo bajo el sol \/ All Under the Sun","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51065527337233,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51065529434385,"sku":"NIN9788416131785","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51816847016209,"sku":"CIN8416131783VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8416131783.jpg?v=1751001376"},{"product_id":"estamos-todas-bien-we-are-all-well-book-ana-penyas-9788416131341","title":"Estamos todas bien \/ We are All Well","description":"\u003cb\u003eUn homenaje gr fico a esas mujeres que siempre han sido personajes secundarios de otras vidas: la esposa de, la madre de, o la abuela de.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«Cuando le dije a mi abuela Maruja que iba a hacer un c mic basado en su vida, me respondi  que mejor escribiera una historia de amor.

When I said the same to my grandmother Herminia, she was very happy and said 'Yes, sure, baby.' So, tape recorder in hand, I went to see my grandmother Maruja so she could explain, for example, what she hid that flower box and the reason she was obsessed with cooking. Then I visited my grandmother Herminia and discovered the importance of her grandmother Hermenegilda and the causes of that peculiar bohemian air.

Their anecdotes, their ideas and their worlds are here, in this book, a small tribute aims to make them protagonists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ana Penyas. - ** Fnac-Salamandra Graphic Prize for Graphic Novel 2017","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52101699633425,"sku":"GOR011862675","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52101717524753,"sku":"NIN9788416131341","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788416131341.jpg?v=1757094215"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-ana-penyas.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
