¡Dinamita! Mujeres rebeldes en la Colombia del siglo XX
Gloria Susana Esquivel
NON FICTION | 2020 | 236 pages
In this book, Gloria Susana Esquivel allows us to discover—or rediscover—fourteen women who had dynamite in their hands, in one way or another.
These women were all transgressors in a society that both wanted and needed them to stay silent and obedient. They were all pioneers of a new way of inhabiting the world and helped dismantle, or at least crack, that ancestral scaffolding that trapped them in what we call the prison of gender today; a prison that could not be broken out of with a passion for writing, art, or political militancy, and that even when it did happen, it was—and I would dare to say that it still continues to be—a price that no man with that same passion has or has had to pay.

“We urgently needed a book that gave us hints about the history of feminism in Colombia and told us in detail about the lives of each of its protagonists.”
“¡Dinamita! allows us to remember those women who were not afraid to go astray and live dangerously to try to give meaning to their lives—and, consequently, to ours.”
