Synopsis "Mujer en Punto Cero (in Spanish)"

«Todos los hombres que he conocido solo me han inspirado un deseo: el de alzar la mano y dejarla caer con fuerza sobre su rostro». Así comienza la notable historia de Firdaus de rebelión contra una sociedad fundada en mentiras, hipocresía, brutalidad y opresión. Nacida en el seno de una familia campesina en Egipto, Firdaus lucha a lo largo de su infancia, buscando la compasión y el conocimiento en un mundo que le da muy poco de ambas cuestiones. A medida que crece, cada nueva relación le enseña una amarga pero liberadora verdad: las únicas personas libres son aquellas que no quieren nada, no temen nada y no esperan nada.
Desde sus primeros recuerdos, Firdaus sufrió a manos de los hombres. Primero su abusivo padre, luego su violento marido, y finalmente su engañoso novio convertido en proxeneta. Después de toda una vida de abuso, por fin llevará a cabo una acción drástica contra los varones que gobiernan su vida. Desde su celda, Firdaus, condenada a morir por haber matado a un proxeneta en una calle de El Cairo, cuenta su vida desde la infancia en la aldea a la vida de prostituta en la ciudad. La retribución de la sociedad por su acto de desafío —la muerte— le da la bienvenida como la única manera de poder ser finalmente libre.

(Egypt 1931 - 2021) Born into a wealthy family in Egypt, and at a young age suffered genital mutilation. Studied Medicine at Cairo University. Working as a doctor in Kafr Tahl, she observed the difficulties and inequalities faced by rural women. She was the director of Public Health in Cairo. However, she was dismissed from her position in the Ministry of Health due to her political activities, which also cost her the positions of editor-in-chief of a health newspaper and deputy secretary-general of the Egyptian Medical Association. Between 1973 and 1976, she worked on researching neurosis in women at Ain Shams University, and between 1979 and 1980, she was an advisor to the United Nations for the Women's Program in Africa (CEP) and the Middle East (CEPA). She was imprisoned in 1981 for her opposition to the Camp David Peace Accords between Egypt and Israel by President Anwar al Sadat. In 1991, after receiving death threats from Islamists, she went into exile in the United States and began working as a professor at the University of Washington. In 1996, she returned to Egypt to continue her activism for women's rights, especially through her written work.

Patricia Alcaraz Saturday, September 16, 2023
Una historia real que describe a una mujer sensible e inteligente y la valiente manera en que conformó una vida personal contra los embates de un mundo patriarcal y machista que nunca logró destruir su dignidad. La narración profunda de la autora permite observar en primera fila las reflexiones, psicodimania y adaptaciones sociales de Firdaus.
