Anna Freixas

The old women's revolution: living, enjoying, fucking and deciding- eldiario.es

This is a journey through human rights in old age and, specifically, women's rights, synthesized in three principles that Anna Freixas believes are fundamental in old age: freedom, justice, and dignity. Therefore, these survival notes are designed for the new generation of old women who are beginning to enjoy their freedoms, for those who maintain their dignity, for old women who, as they move through the calendar, are capable of scrutinizing life and everyday relationships with perseverance and sharpness. This book is intended as a reflection and an amusement on an assortment of little things that at this point in life can make life bitter or, on the contrary, make it easier for us. A kind of spotlight to illuminate situations in everyday life that we believe to be so normal that we do not consider them important and which, nevertheless, make up the bulk of discrimination and social rejection of the elderly, simply because they are elderly. Freixas also tries to make visible certain factors that consolidate the stereotypes that society has about old women. Yo, vieja is a hymn to freedom and self-confidence; to comfortable and affirmative old age. With the aim that together we can all manage to live an elegant, relaxed and assertive old age.
