Synopsis of Las chicas buenas van al cielo y las malas a todas partes

«Las chicas buenas van al cielo y las malas a todas partes» is the psychology essay by Ute Ehrhardt, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover.

It starts from the idea that many women prefer being «good» to living with more freedom, and analyzes why they self-censor, keep quiet about what they want, and carry guilt. Ehrhardt proposes detecting mental traps and learned patterns (such as learned helplessness and the self-fulfilling prophecy) to assert oneself and achieve autonomy and equality.

Spanish-language edition of 242 pages, published in 1997; translation by Maria Dolores Abalos. The original German title, published in 1994, is «Gute Mädchen kommen in den Himmel, böse überall hin».

Aimed at an audience interested in feminism, psychology and personal development, with a focus on gender mandates and female autonomy.
