Exploring History and Culture

History is not a list of dates or a parade of solemn statues. It is desire, ambition, mistakes, revenge, love and power. In Exploring History and Culture, the past becomes an uncomfortable yet fascinating mirror, where great myths are knocked off their pedestals and forgotten figures reclaim their rightful place.

Through fast-paced, thought-provoking chapters filled with irony, the book revisits history from the origins of humanity to figures such as Cleopatra, Joanna I, Hitler, Rosa Parks, Alan Turing and Frida Kahlo, challenging official narratives and revealing both their strengths and flaws. A contemporary, feminist perspective, free from unnecessary solemnity, that turns history into a subject for conversation, questioning and self-discovery.

Understanding who we were is the only way to understand who we are.
