Dr. Sima Samar has been fighting for equality and justice for most of her life. Born into a polygamous family, she learned early that girls had inferior status, and she had to agree to an arranged marriage if she wanted to go to university.

With her son and medical degree, she took off into the rural areas—by horseback, by donkey, even on foot—to treat people who had never had medical help before.

Narrado por la autora y sexóloga Sonia Encinas, Feminidad salvaje nos invita a abrir una caja de Pandora que lleva demasiado tiempo enterrada y a unirnos a una revolución que no necesita ni pancartas ni barricadas. Esta tiene lugar en lo más íntimo, en nuestra propia cama, en nuestro propio cuerpo, en nuestros propios ritmos sexuales y en la definición propia de la feminidad. Se trata de una sublevación ante lo que nos dijeron que debíamos ser y de una transformación que nos conecta con nuestra esencia más salvaje, aquello que no podemos (ni debemos) domar.

Con la habilidad a la que nos tiene acostumbrados, Reza Aslan nos narra la historia de la religión para mostrarnos cómo esta ha estado marcada por nuestra insistencia en darle a Dios rasgos y emociones humanos.
