'fabricanta' Summary
Antonieta, a woman of menial origins, embarks on an extraordinary journey to establish herself as a factory owner in the booming industrial landscape of late 19th-century Catalonia. Driven by ambition and a desire for self-determination, she challenges traditional gender roles and the limitations imposed upon women in this era. Her path is fraught with obstacles, from societal prejudices to the ruthless competition of the industrial world. Antonieta's resilience and determination are tested as she faces financial hardships, the exploitation of workers, and the machinations of those who seek to maintain the status quo. Through her struggle, she becomes a symbol of female empowerment and the aspirations of those seeking to break free from the confines of their social standing. 'Fabricanta' is a compelling narrative that illuminates the social and economic upheavals of a transformative period in Catalan history while offering a poignant portrayal of one woman's journey to achieve her dreams.Book Details
