El món era a fora

Synopsis of El món era a fora

«El món era a fora» is the interview book by Maria Mercè Roca, published by Planeta CAT in paperback, with 207 pages, in Catalan.

Roca gathers the testimony of ten Catalan women educated under Francoism to reconstruct how they experienced their role in relationships, politics, work and religion. The conversations show the gap between official doctrine and everyday life, and bring the reader closer to the real experience of these women in the second half of the twentieth century.

This work is part of Planeta's Ramon Llull collection and appeared in Barcelona in March 2001.

For readers interested in the social history of women, the memory of Francoism and oral testimonies in Catalonia.
