HERRERA-JUSTICIA, Sonia  and  AMEZCUA, Manuel. Restless, committed and renovating: vindicating the women of hospitality. Temperamentvm [online]. 2022, vol.18, e18v7.  Epub Apr 17, 2023. ISSN 1699-6011.  https://dx.doi.org/10.58807/tmptvm20224812.

They are all represented as innocent little nuns with affable and submissive faces. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this webinar we will meet some unconventional and disturbing women who rebelled against the prevailing inequality of their time. And they did it with resolution and intelligence, overcoming the stereotypes that relegated women to a subordinate and invisible condition. Or rather taking advantage of them to establish solid companies in defense of the most vulnerable populations, in a context where poverty, disease and marginalization went hand in hand. Walking women in four centuries and in different countries and continents who look at us defiantly from the tribune of history, hoping to receive the recognition that the narrow gaze of their time denied them.
