The only revolution, in a country without revolutions, has been that of women. Invisible, stubborn, intertwined with everyday life and politics, justice and care, public battles and intimate revolutions. A revolution without weapons, but not without wounds.

This book collects the stories of those who changed the world without waiting for permission to do so. Women who dared to cross thresholds closed for centuries, who challenged immovable institutions, who paid a price for each achievement. Some have done so in the limelight, others in the silence of daily toil, but all have left a mark, often deeper than history is willing to acknowledge.

From politics to medicine, from information to civil rights, from academia to labor unions, these testimonies trace a thread of resistance and change, a memory that must not be lost. Not only to acknowledge what has been, but to understand what is happening now. Because if patriarchy has not collapsed, if acquired rights are in danger of crumbling under the weight of new inequalities, then this revolution is not over.

And the battles of mothers and grandmothers resonate in the struggles of the new generations, in the words of those who still rebel against injustice, in the gestures of those who do not accept taking steps backward. These stories collected from the voices of the protagonists, who also delivered to us the private side of their lives, are a witness entrusted to those who will continue to fight. Because the women's revolution remains open, alive, necessary. To tell it is to defend it.

The women's revolution is silent but unstoppable. And if it is in danger of retreating today, telling its story becomes a political act.

“If the battle for rights does not end, neither must memory end.”
