Una evocadora novela sobre los retos que tuvieron que afrontar las primeras universitarias españolas.

1928. Catalina viaja a Madrid contra la voluntad de su madre para estudiar Farmacia y se instala en la Residencia de Señoritas. Su ilusión, su pasión y sus ganas de aprender pronto la llevarán a hacer nuevas amigas, a verse envuelta en los conflictos políticos de la época y a entrar en contacto con iconos feministas como Elena Fortún y María de Maeztu.

Su viaje de adolescente ingenua a mujer con deseos propios se verá marcado por un triángulo sentimental con dos jóvenes que representan mundos opuestos y, sobre todo, por las dudas entre el matrimonio y su vocación profesional. Porque, en esa época, una mujer sí debía elegir. ¿Conseguirá Catalina hacer realidad su mayor deseo?

Sobre el contexto histórico de la novela:

En 1915 se creó la Residencia de Señoritas, apenas cinco años después de que las mujeres consiguieran el derecho a matricularse libremente en una universidad. Que las chicas ocuparan las aulas era algo insólito y objeto de críticas; María de Maeztu, la directora de la Residencia durante los 21 años que existió, lo dejó escrito de esta manera: «El camino no puede ser más áspero y a veces las espinas me quitan la salud, pero la finalidad me parece cada vez más certera y luminosa».

De Maeztu puso todo su empeño en conseguir que las jóvenes de cualquier rincón del país tuvieran la oportunidad de recibir una educación superior y pudieran incorporarse al mundo laborar como profesionales. Pero la formación que recibieron las alumnas que pasaron por la Residencia fue mucho más allá del aspecto académico: las reuniones para el intercambio de ideas, los viajes culturales, las conferencias, la educación física y los intercambios con colleges femeninos de Estados Unidos también formaron parte del plan educativo.

La mayoría de las pioneras del primer tercio del siglo XX estuvieron vinculadas con la Residencia: María Zambrano, Maruja Mallo, Victoria Kent, Josefina Carabias, Delhy Tejero, Clara Campoamor, Zenobia Campubrí, Gabriela Mistral o Concha Méndez, fueron algunas entre otras muchas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A reminiscent novel about the challenges that the first female university students in Spain had to face.

1928. Catalina travels to Madrid against her mother's will to study to be a pharmacist and settles in at the Young Women's Residences. Her fantasy, her passion, and her desire to learn will soon lead her to make new friends, become involved in the political conflicts of the time, and to come into contact with feminist icons such as Elena Fortún and María de Maeztu.

Her journey from a naive teenager to a woman with her own desires will be marked by a romantic triangle with two young people who come from opposite worlds and, above all, by doubts between marriage and her professional career. Because, at that time, a woman did have to choose. Will Catalina manage to make her greatest wish come true?

Discreet and useful!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 8)
These travel wipes are honestly perfect for keeping in a purse, backpack, or even in a pocket. The packs are super compact and discreet, which is perfect for work. The packaging is also quiet. but still stay moist, which is hard to find with travel wipes. They feel gentle and don’t irritate sensitive skin. The wipes themselves are soft but durable enough to actually use without tearing apart. The 6 pack is the perfect size and the wipes are full sized

I keep these in my desk at work and I love them. No noticeable scent, compact & discreet, easy to open & use. They’re soft, strong (no rips), clean well, and leave you feeling fresh. No issues with flushing.

Pleasantly surprised and enjoy the product!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 8)
Alright, these things have been working great for at work. I occasionally need to go at work which I dislike due to me not being able to wipe and feel clean. Well, not anymore. These are compact enough to fit well in my pocket (female pocket btw, iykyk) and I can take my trip to the bathroom hands free. You of course can put it in a little pouch or tuck it into your waistband. This has come in handy and I now have 2 packs left (don't try to math my poops or wipes per poop lol you creep) I will definitely repurchase in the future, and I will take these with me on other travel trips due to the compact size and ease of use. For fellow women, this easily fits into an average purse. The wipe itself is decent size as well and not worthless like some others. Ripping has not been a problem for me and hopefully won't ever be lol. I have experienced no skin issues or irritation with it. Each wipe has decent moisture to be a wet wipe as well.

Compact, Gentle Wipes That Are Perfect for Travel
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 8)
These wipes are so convenient for travel or keeping in a bag for everyday use. The compact packaging makes them easy to carry without taking up space, which is great when you are trying to pack light or stay organized. They are also very soft and gentle, which makes them suitable for sensitive skin. I like that they are mostly water based with aloe, so they feel clean and refreshing without being harsh or overly scented. They are easy to use on the go and give peace of mind when you do not have access to a full bathroom setup. Overall they are a simple, practical essential that is great to have on hand when traveling or out and about.
