Credibility. Why women are not believed
Kathryn C’s Sarah Banet-Weiser. Higgins · Barlin Books · 2023
We have not previously found a significant study on why it is not believed, input, to women. The authors of Credibility, when they say “woman”, They refer to any social construct that distances itself from the cis white man., in which the economic variable also comes into play. The further you move away from this ideal model, the more difficult it will be for them to believe you when you report sexual assault or humiliating treatment. Capitalism is no stranger to this problem that you are experiencing and does not hesitate to take advantage of it by creating apps and all kinds of gadgets that can be marketed under its supposed protective power.. A very interesting essay that should be on our shelves in these times. ALODIA CLEMENTE (The Red)

Preferred consumption
Andrea Genovart Anagram · 2023
Reading Consum preferent by Andrea Genovart is to get a chill, in an effervescent experience, almost electric, febrile. The author lets Alba's consciousness and thoughts flow, the young protagonist, gentle, friend of his friends, a young woman who is silent more than she says, that doesn't scream or get angry, who lives stoically and who, when he can't anymore, fed up with so much sobriety and precariousness, poisoned by processed food. Anagram Award, is a novel with a strong social and critical component that uses a very unique language model, with abundant onomatopoeias and sayings in Spanish, which has raised a lot of controversy. LOURDES TOLEDO
