Una introducci�n concisa y brillante a la obra de Susan Sontag sobre las mujeres, que re�ne sus primeros ensayos, varios de ellos in�ditos en espa�ol, relativos al envejecimiento, la igualdad, la belleza, la sexualidad y el fascismo.
Susan Sontag fue una de las pensadoras m�s formidables, originales e influyentes del siglo pasado. «Las ideas m�s interesantes son las herej�as , sosten�a. Y en efecto: sus escritos descartan lo trillado y se niegan a seguir las l�neas partidistas. De las mujeres ofrece siete ensayos y debates sobre una amplia gama de asuntos: los desaf�os y humillaciones a las que se enfrentan las mujeres a medida que envejecen; la relaci�n entre la liberaci�n de la mujer y la lucha de clases; la belleza, que Sontag llama «esa p�cima demasiado pesada de tantos consabidos opuestos ; el feminismo; el fascismo; y el cine. En conjunto, estos an�lisis, reacios a la f�cil categorizaci�n, muestran no s�lo su curiosidad implacable, su precisi�n hist�rica y su vigor pol�tico, sino la inimitable mente de Sontag en acci�n. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A concise and brilliant introduction to Susan Sontag's writings on women, bringing together her early essays--several of them never before published in English--on aging, equality, beauty, sexuality, and fascism. Susan Sontag was one of the most formidable, original, and influential thinkers of the 20th century. "The most interesting ideas are heresies," she claimed--and indeed, her work rejects convention and refuses to follow partisan lines. On Women presents seven essays and debates on a wide range of topics: the challenges and humiliations women face as they age; the connection between women's liberation and class struggle; beauty, which Sontag describes as "that overly potent potion of so many familiar opposites"; feminism; fascism, and cinema. Together, these analyses--resistant to an easy categorization--reveal not only her relentless curiosity, historical precision, and political vigor, but also the unmistakable brilliance of Sontag's mind at work.Susan Sontag (1933-2004) inició su carrera literaria en 1963, con la publicación de la novela El benefactor, pero fue a partir del reconocimiento internacional de sus ensayos reunidos en Contra la interpretación cuando se consolidó como una de las principales figuras de los movimientos intelectuales de los años sesenta. Desde entonces su prestigio no ha hecho más que aumentar, tanto por sus obras como por su implicación en la denuncia de los grandes problemas sociales y políticos contemporáneos. En 2000, su novela En América fue galardonada con el National Book Award. En 2001 recibió el Premio Jerusalén por el conjunto de su obra, y en 2003 el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras y el Premio de la Paz, concedido por los libreros alemanes. A partir de 2007 se publicó en esta misma colección su obra póstuma: Al mismo tiempo (2007, una colección de ensayos sobre cuestiones políticas, literarias, intelectuales y morales), Renacida. Diarios tempranos 1947-1964 (2011), La conciencia uncida a la carne. Diarios de madurez 1964-1980 (2014)y Declaración (2018). Susan Sontag falleció en Nueva York en 2004.
