 Un libro estupendo, profundamente impactante, realmente excelente para conocer a la autora y definitivamente leeré el resto de las biografías de ella. Le pongo 4 de 5 estrellas porque la traducción de Carlos Manzano no es muy buena. Dejo un par de frases que me gustaron:

"Dijo que siempre debía ser intolerante con la ignorancia, pero comprensiva con la incultura"

"Las necesidades en una sociedad determinan su ética"

Realmente recomendado, en lo posible en su idioma original.

Although it was hard to read due to the heavy topics it deals with. The chapters weren't super connected with each other either so it felt like it was incomplete at some parts. However it's still a very important read. I wish that this was a long memoir rather than a book series of memoirs tho, since I wanted to read more of this.

Whilst I’m in awe and pain at the life Maya has lived, and whilst I was fascinated to find out about it, I’m sad to say that I was put off by the writing style. For me, it felt off and made it so much harder to get into.
