Cautery by Luca Lijtmaer

The difficulty of being a woman in 21st-century Barcelona and 17th-century Massachusetts might only be a few hundred years.

She is a writer and cultural critic. She has published the chronicles Quiero los secretos del Pentágono (I Want the Pentagon's Secrets) (2015), Casi nada que ponerte (Hardly Anything to Wear) (2016) and the essays Yo también soy una chica lista (I'm a Smart Girl, Too) (2017), Cultura en Tensión (Culture in Tension) (2016) and Ofendiditos, la criminalización de la protesta (Offended: the Criminalization of Protest) (2019). She regularly writes for El País , El Periódico de Catalunya, and collaborates with RAC1. She's the curator of the festival of guerrilla and feminist culture 'Princesses and DarthVaders', and together with Isa Calderón, she codirects the cultural podcast 'Deforme Semanal' on Radio Primavera Sound, winner of the 2021 Ondas Award for Best Podcast and of the 2022 Ondas Globales Prize for the Podcast.
