In 'Las Olvidadas', Ángeles Caso rescues from silence creative and wise women who defied the norms of their time. Through their works, these writers, artists, and composers managed to communicate, although they lived among doubts, fears, and persecutions. Some, like Hildegard of Bingen and Sofonisba Anguissola, achieved recognition, but history relegated them to oblivion. Caso traces their lives, highlighting the hostility towards female culture and building a genealogy of exceptional women who preceded today's creators. With a prologue by Rosa Regàs, this book is a tribute to those who rebelled against silence.
María de los Ángeles Caso Machicado is a Spanish journalist, translator and writer. She is a recipient of the Premio Planeta de Novela.
