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?
