ANTIFA = FEMINISTA
My sample translation available: Women from Outer Space by Juliana Borrero Echeverry (Colombia) is the book we all need NOW.
“Being misogynist is being fascist, and feminism is being anti-fascist” - María Luisa Bemberg, Argentine screenwriter and playwright.
It’s that simple. So, let’s end the patriarchy, my dears. Time’s a-wasting. We must keep pushing until it is wiped off the face of the Earth. We may not live to see it, but we must try with all our might—or we’re all doomed.
Apropos of ending the patriarchy:
I have a translation sample in English available for Las extraterrestres [Women from Outer Space] by the feminist, anti-fascist writer and performance artist, Juliana Borrero Echeverry. The original Spanish edition was published in 2021 by Cajón de Sastre (Bogotá, Colombia). We are #SeekingAPublisher for the English languge edition.
Women from Outer Space is a galactic book, an intense read, a veritable device for experimentating with your own head. You could describe Women from Outer Space as a poetic or epic feminist narrative in the form of a manifesto about the end of the world that responds forcefully to the calls for action in this time of crisis. Women from Outer Space, with its immersive style, humor, drama, and winks at contemporary culture, draws the reader into a poetic exploration that issues an invitation to step off the page and do something radical, reframing the violence of our contemporary context and screaming at everyone to pay attention before it’s too late.
“…storytelling must be about killing that snake, like killing the father, or killing the husband. Like that tribe of women with machine guns who threaten to take over the world and wipe out men and the economy.
The Muse says: The only way to tell is not to tell.
For a woman, the only way to get along is to change the story. To go wild. Embrace hysteria. Own herself.
Because I’m never going to say again what you want to hear, says the Muse.
Because women don’t tell stories, they explode.
You try to grab them and make them your own, and when you least expect it... they’re gone.” - Juliana Borrero Echeverry
