ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From Emilia Pardo Bazn to Carmen Martn Gaite, from Mara Lejrraga to Elena Fortn and Carmen Laforet, the moving story of women who found in writing and friendship the strength to believe in themselves. "Carmen G. de la Cueva and Ana Jarn have woven a dazzling genealogy. Cultured and passionate, this story is filled with emotion and sheer beauty." -Cristina Ooro There was a time in Spain when everything seemed possible for women: study, leave their homes, weave threads of friendship, and plant a small seed that, despite the war and the postwar period, germinated in poems, books, and letters. A story that took place in environments such as the Residencia de Seoritas or the Lyceum Club Femenino, which would continue in exile, and which intertwines the lives of female creators such as Emilia Pardo Bazn, Carmen Baroja, Mara Lejrraga, Mara de Maeztu, Victoria Kent, Elena Fortn, Marisol Dorao, Carmen Laforet and Carmen Martn Gaite. Carmen G. de la Cueva has traced the steps of those who, long before her, found in the voice and love of other women the necessary drive to believe in themselves. For her part, Ana Jarn has created the perfect atmosphere for a beautiful story of sorority and creation.
