Feminist theories are a very wide and interest field of study, and contrary to what a lot o people think, there are several ways to live and think, and to observe the feminism. The common denominator within feminist ideology, is the interest to analyze the construction of roles annd what it means to be a woman, especially in the patriarchal context

  4. María Kiekari, “Body does not lies. Trauma and the body”

Trauma is a phenomenon that goes beyond the event itself. It leaves a deep mark that conditions the life of the affected person. As a defense mechanism, people who have experienced trauma can disconnect from their own body and its sensations. People needs to understand why, how, when, trauma began, in order to recover and get self confidence back. Men and women have different ways to suffer trauma,  and therefore, different ways to heal.
