Antifémina

Author/s: Colita (Photography), Maria Aurèlia Capmany (Text) and Mary Nash (Prologue)
Co-edition with: Terranova Open in a new window
Collection: Behind the Scenes

Originally published in 1977, Spain’s first openly feminist graphic book from the post-Franco period, with texts by Maria Aurèlia Capmany and photographs by Colita, is practically impossible to find today. The first edition was immediately confiscated by the Francoist structures still prevailing during the country's democratic transition. The Colita Fotografia archive, Barcelona City Council and the Terranova Publishing House, having spent over two years locating and restoring the negatives, always under the supervision and on the approval of the photographer Colita, have resumed the natural course of an exceptional book that should have never been interrupted.

What are them saying

"Els textos de la Maria Aurèlia són totalment vàlids avui en dia i les fotos, tot i retratar una realitat històrica, ens demostren que la problemàtica de les dones segueix aquí"

ARA Open in a new window | Thaïs Gutiérrez Vinyets 15/11/2021

"La fotógrafa se quita una «espina clavada» y publica por fin 'Antifémina', un libro feminista que apenas vio la luz: en 1977 mandaron triturar los 3.000 ejemplares recién impresos."

EL MUNDO Open in a new window | Vanessa Graell 22/11/2021

"Ya antifémina, pero siempre aprendiendo, quiero agradecer (en voz alta y con letras grandes) a Maria Aurèlia y a Colita los pasos que dieron, las enseñanzas que dejaron y, sobre todo, los dedos en las llagas."
