Introduction

These are the stories of unique women whom the author attempts to understand. They appear generous, wicked, cowardly, brave, outgoing or even timid. All of them are original, and some appear even more impressive through their extraordinary adventures. Montero portrays Frida Kahlo, Simone de Beauvoir, and the Brontë sisters among others. Description in Spanish: ''Este libro reune, en una version mas ampliada, las biografias de mujeres que publique en el suplemento dominical de El Pais. No se bien donde encuadrar estos trabajos: aunque estan muy documentados, no son ni biografias academicas ni articulos periodisticos, sino unos textos muy apasionados, muy personales. Son historias de mujeres singulares a las que intente entender. Las hay generosas y las hay malvadas, cobardes o valientes, turbulentas o timidas; yodas son, eso si, muy originales y algunas resultan pasmosas por lo extraordinario de sus peripecias. Pero creo que, por muy raras que parezcan, siempre podemos reconocernos en ellas. Y es que cada uno de nosotros encierra dentro de si todas las vidas''.
