Cuatro chilenas que, a lo largo del siglo veinte, cometieron impactantes homicidios protagonizan los casos que la escritora Alia Trabucco Zerán investigó durante años para escribir estos ensayos que trazan un relato inquietante y provocador: el de cómo la sociedad, los medios y el poder reaccionaron frente a estas criminales que rompieron, violentamente, con el lugar doméstico y pasivo que se les tenía reservado. Un libro que, con una prosa concisa y reflexiva, cuestiona radicalmente aquello que hemos asumido como normal. «En un momento en que el feminismo se ha tomado las calles para denunciar las dimensiones epidémicas de la violencia de género, el por qué escribir ahora sobre mujeres asesinas no es una pregunta trivial , se plantea Alia Trabucco Zerán, y la búsqueda de una respuesta es justamente lo que subyace en estas páginas sutiles e inteligentes, en las que las narraciones de los crímenes dialogan con un texto ficcional y, también, con los diarios que la autora llevó mientras investigaba y donde quedan planteados los obstáculos y dilemas a los que se enfrentó al abordar un tema tan incómodo como revelador. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A genre-bending feminist account of the lives and crimes of four women who committed the double transgression of murder, violating not only criminal law but also the invisible laws of gender.
When Women Kill: Four Crimes Retold analyzes four homicides carried out by Chilean women over the course of the twentieth century. Drawing on her training as a lawyer, Alia Trabucco Zerán offers a nuanced close reading of their lives and crimes, foregoing sensationalism in order to dissect how all four were both perpetrators of violent acts and victims of another, more insidious kind of violence. This radical retelling challenges the archetype of the woman murderer and reveals another narrative, one as disturbing and provocative as the transgressions themselves: What makes women lash out against the restraints of gendered domesticity, and how do we--readers, viewers, the media, the art world, the political establishment--treat them when they do? Expertly intertwining true crime, critical essay, and research diary, International Booker Prize finalist Alia Trabucco Zerán (The Remainder), in a translation by Sophie Hughes, brings an overdue feminist perspective to the study of deviant women.
