Yo no renuncio

This is a story of resignation: the story of a Malamadre who had to put aside her professional career when she had her first daughter. The most normal thing in the world, right? Well, no, it is neither normal nor fair and in these pages you will discover why. Laura Baena Fernández, founder of the Club de Malasmadres, starts from her own experience to delve into an invisible reality, even though it affects hundreds of thousands of women in our country: how being a mother ends up penalizing them both at work and personally. Using the collaboration of her partner in struggle, the sociologist Maite Egoscozabal, and the voice of many recognized or anonymous women, the author opens our eyes to our biased beliefs about motherhood, inviting us to reflect and react. All this to promote a cultural revolution that breaks with the silence of mothers about their experiences and generates real social change. Because only by uncovering the resignations of women, who seem chosen but are not, will it be possible to put an end to inequality and ensure that the legitimate demands for which this book advocates become the reality of future generations.
