Erano anni che non mi impegnavo così tanto per finire un libro. Passati i 3/4 mi sono convinta che le pagine aumentassero per partenogenesi, perchè leggevo e leggevo e non andavo avanti.
Non so dire esattamente cosa me lo abbia fatto odiare, ma l'unico aggettivo che mi tornava in mente continuamente era "blando". Blande le protagonisti e assenti gli antagonisti, tutti piatti. GLi unici bassorilievi sono due uomini: Josè de l'Aritmetica e Emir, che dovrebbero essere personaggi di contorno.

Es sin duda una novela bastante divertida e irónica que te hace pasar un buen rato leyendo y se hace ligera. Las ideas que plantea Belli sobre recuperar los espacios para las mujeres sin la influencia que hasta hoy, queramos o no, los hombres han tenido en nosotras, es interesante y real. Los cuestionamientos que plantea, las posibles soluciones aunque muy utópicas, valen la pena ser consideradas. Sin embargo, los personajes de mujeres que presenta me parecieron también utópicas y la mezcla que llega hacer entre feminismo, mujerismo y hembrismo tiene que ser tomada con cuidado. Sin duda es un libro que debe ser leído críticamente (como idealmente todos los libros), y tampoco es un libro que recomendaría si lo que se busca es conocer la hermosa pluma de Belli. Si se busca lo último, preferiría recomendar Sofía de los presagios o La mujer habitada.

Ein interessantes Buch. Mit einigen Punkten bin ich jedoch nicht einverstanden.
Die Partei  möchte zwar Sexismus, Rollenbilder etc bekämpfen aber im Manifest Punkt zwei argumentieren sie, dass Frauen gut darin sind den Haushalt rein zu halten und Ordnung zu halten. Punkt 5 besagt, dass sie das Land aufpolieren und wie frisch gebügelt Wäsche duften lassen werden.


Die schmutzige Kampagne beispielsweise war ein weiterer Punkt. Frauen sollen ihren Körper einsetzen um die Stimme der Männer zu bekommen. Wieso können Frauen Männer nur mit Sex und Aussehen überzeugen? Ist das das Bild, das den LeserInnen vermittelt werden soll?

this book should be read by everyone who is living in our modern society and wants to become part of it. i think both to men and women this read can be so valuable and increase their empathy, which is the most important quality, especially nowadays. to me, this ideology is very interesting to read about and the book doesn't fail to mention negative aspects of it. still, the ending is too happy and perfect in my opinion and in the end, we may think about this system as the only, working one, even though i don't think it would work in real life (or at least not this well).
even though i have read some feminist literature and have cared about this topic, this book still showed me some points i haven't thought about since it was basically about the perfect, feminist system (i don't mean that the perfect one would be men cooking, women working in offices, as it is described in the biggest part of this book; i mean the system that exists after those six months).
so final conclusion: very important, eye-opening read, but in the end it's too perfect and maybe that's why we don't get the most possible value out of it
