Torremolinos, March 9, 2021.

As a complement to the conference 'Women and power: the example of María Zambrano' held on the occasion of International Women's Day on March 8, the Torremolinos municipal library organizes a book presentation in the Pablo Ruiz Picasso Cultural Center with two writers as protagonists: María Antonia García de León and Cristina Galán Rubio.

In addition, the activity serves to commemorate the World Poetry Day that is celebrated on March 21 to try to recover the great figures of the genre, promote reading, writing and the teaching of poetry, promote the convergence between the poetry and other arts such as theater, dance, music and painting, and increase the visibility of poetry in the media.

María Antonia García de León is a Spanish sociologist, film critic and writer. She has mainly dealt with feminism in the field of female elites through different essays. Next Thursday she will present ‘I am you’, ‘State of siege’, and ‘Amar América’, three of her latest works of poetic production.

Cristina Galán Rubio has a degree in Biological Sciences and a literary writer by vocation. In 1995 she won the award "Against racism and social discrimination" for her poem: "Violet heart" and she visits Torremolinos to talk about her latest work 'Territorio de la Wound', published in March of last year.
