As well as an author, Claudia Piñero is a women's rights activist in her home country of Argentina. This novel highlights some of her most prominent causes - abortion rights, the plight of the elderly, and the destructive hold of the Church, all through the lens of one woman trying to take a train ride across town. This would be a fantastic addition to a feminist lit course.
