About this listen
La novela que saca a la luz la historia de las mujeres españolas obligadas a prostituirse en los campos de concentración.
Yo, Isadora Ramírez García, que perdí mi nombre cuando abandoné España junto a mi madre, Carmen, y a mi tía Teresa en 1939 en busca de mi hermano Ignacio, voy a contarte mi historia, María. Para que sepas quién soy y quién era tu abuela, y todo aquello que reunió a nuestras familias durante la Guerra Civil para separarlas después. Sabrás de sus pérdidas, que fueron las mías, del dolor inhumano y las lágrimas constantes… Y lo que pasó cuando nuestros destinos se separaron y yo me convertí en una de las prostitutas del campo de concentración de Ravensbrück, un lugar lleno de puentes y palomas blancas, cuyas plumas se ensuciaron de sangre y semen por dos razones: la simple y llana supervivencia y la lucha incesante, con armas escasas, contra el fascismo.
Quieres saber del campo de concentración infame que atentó contra la vida de miles de mujeres; ahí está la historiadora que eres, María, y que nunca ejerció como tal, pero la periodista en la que te has convertido, entre vasos de whisky, demasiados, y que aún busca una identidad que le niegan los secretos de familia, lo que quiere saber realmente es qué esconde la caja de los dolores feos.
Tres días, María, tres días y podrás abrir esa caja en la que, al contrario que en el mito clásico, la esperanza no ha buscado refugio, sino que voló de rama en rama para posarse a las puertas del puerto de Vigo, de una calle de París; se quedó enredada en las alambradas de Ravensbrück, regresó malherida a las puertas de la pensión Soledad y allí cantó de nuevo por la libertad, las mujeres, los oprimidos y la revolución.
Personajes reales y ficticios, un horror inimaginable, pero también amistad, resistencia y fraternidad componen esta novela de la que no se sale inmune sobre los perdedores de la guerra de España y su exilio a infiernos donde la crueldad es incomprensible incluso desde la más profunda de las insanias.

Una mujer que guarda un secreto. Un padre que lleva una doble vida. Un misterioso asesinato. Una brillante carrera como juez, el respeto de quienes la rodean, una vida independiente... Carlota lo tenía todo para ser feliz. Sin embargo, siempre le faltó una Navidad. Cuando a los doce años su madre le reveló el gran secreto, Carlota supo que ya nada volvería a ser igual. La palabra "bastarda" se convirtió en un estigma para ella. La palabra "familia" no volvió a significar lo mismo.

Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Historia Femenina
It felt like walking in broken glass, I felt repulsed, angry, sad, vengeful, uncomfortable, as if I was about to break at any moment. I wanted the story to be over so many times… but I needed to end it. It is a story told and is important to learn it. Women's history is oftentimes overlooked, and having the gift to read/listen to it is important. The performance was excellent, with accents, enthusiasm, everything… interesting and inspiring story.
