translated from Spanish: “Anti-patriarch”: Ana Tijoux reviews one of her most emblematic themes through illustration

This particular song is uncomfortable with its lyrics and has become a true anthem of struggle and sob denunciation violence against women and the importance of gender equality.
The book illustrates a current theme that is now at the center of the discussion, addressing the topic from a childish character that is the center of the story. Letter and image are a constant denunciation and call to empower yourself and not be indifferent to violence.
It is a recommended reading for all ages, since the depth behind each image manages to enchant from small readers to adults who appreciate a content that, after an apparent simplicity, becomes a story that identifies the one who reads it in all the magnitude and complexity of the issue. It is impossible not to get excited and advance in their reading, of those books that are treasured to reread.
Women from our history
The book also has illustrations in homage to great women of our history such as Violeta Parra, Machi Lincollao and Lumi Videla. A book needed in the libraries of all schools for the new generations to read and discuss.
Ana Maria Tijoux noted in the book that “This song was woven by many women, for their testimonies and stories. That’s what makes her special. It’s a cry of thousands of stars, a tide of life, a flurry of humanity. For every companion, and that our feelings may continue to be reached in the highest heavens of life, anti-patriarch and joy.”
