La extraordinaria autobiografía de una de las activistas y mujeres trans más relevantes de nuestro tiempo.
Febrero de 2010. Chelsea Manning, una analista de inteligencia militar estadounidense destinada en Irak, revela 720.000 documentos militares clasificados a través de WikiLeaks. Su coraje se apodera del mundo entero al protagonizar la mayor filtración de la historia. Manning fue acusada de veintidós cargos y condenada a treinta y cinco años de prisión militar. Pero, al día siguiente de conocer su sentencia, declaró su identidad de género como mujer y empezó otra lucha: la del derecho a la transición en una prisión de hombres. En 2017, después de un largo desafío legal y un gran apoyo civil, el presidente Obama conmutó su pena y la dejó en libertad. Hoy Chelsea Manning es una de las mayores activistas globales por la transparencia de la información y por los derechos de las mujeres trans. Léeme.txt está destinado a convertirse en uno de los testimonios definitivos de nuestra era digital. Es una historia impresionante de rebelión personal, resiliencia y supervivencia: desde la adolescencia atormentada de Manning y los motivos que la llevaron a alistarse en el ejército hasta el juicio kafkiano al que fue sometida y su heroica lucha por la libertad. «Chelsea Manning es la mayor heroína que jamás ha existido . -Vivienne Westwood ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An intimate, revealing memoir from one of the most important activists of our time. While working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq for the United States Army in 2010, Chelsea Manning disclosed more than seven hundred thousand classified military and diplomatic records that she had smuggled out of the country on the memory card of her digital camera. In 2011, she was charged with twenty-two counts related to the unauthorized possession and distribution of classified military records, and in 2013, she was sentenced to thirty-five years in military prison. The day after her conviction, Manning declared her gender identity as a woman and began to transition, seeking hormones through the federal court system. In 2017, President Barack Obama commuted her sentence and she was released from prison. In README.txt, Manning recounts how her pleas for increased institutional transparency and government accountability took place alongside a fight to defend her rights as a trans woman. Manning details the challenges of her childhood and adolescence as a naive, computer-savvy kid, what drew her to the military, and the fierce pride she has about the work she does. This powerful, observant memoir will stand as one of the definitive testaments of our digital, information-driven age.
