Fabricanta

fabricanta

by Dolors Monserdà

Fabricanta, by Dolors Monserdà, explores the life of Antonieta, a woman of humble origins who navigates the challenging world of industrial Catalonia in the late 19th century. The novel delves into themes of social mobility, gender roles, and the struggle for agency in a rapidly changing society. Antonieta's ambition and determination to succeed as a factory owner clash with societal expectations and the limitations imposed upon women during this period. Through her journey, Monserdà examines the complexities of industrialization and its impact on individuals, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds.
