Summary

Una mujer poco convencional

Cuando la joven Victoria regresa a Madrid después de unos años en Viena, se enfrenta a la encorsetada vida social de las mujeres de la alta burguesía española. La época en que frecuentaba los salones literarios vieneses y cultivaba su afición por la escritura parece haberse quedado atrás, pero ella no está dispuesta a resignarse.

Una pasión por la que alzar la voz

Mientras tanto, en la zona más popular de la capital, Diego trabaja en la imprenta familiar al tiempo que lucha por abrirse un hueco como reportero. Son años efervescentes para el periodismo, en los que los artículos de El Imparcial, El Liberal y La Correspondencia son comentados por todos los madrileños. Será precisamente en uno de estos diarios donde los destinos de Victoria y Diego se crucen por primera vez.

Un homenaje a las primeras periodistas

Tras el éxito de Un destino propio, María Montesinos continúa en Una pasión escrita su trilogía sobre las primeras mujeres que, en los albores del siglo XX, se atrevieron a luchar para poder ejercer su profesión. Inspirada en las historias reales de tantas periodistas obligadas a ocultarse bajo un pseudónimo masculino para conseguir publicar, esta novela recrea una época histórica fascinante y nos invita a vivir una emocionante historia de amor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An unconventional woman
When young Victoria returns to Madrid after a few years in Vienna, she must once again face the corseted social life of the Spanish upper bourgeoisie women. Those times when she visited the Viennese literary salons and cultivated her love of writing seem to be behind her, but she is not ready to accept her new reality.
 
A passion worth raising your voice for
Meanwhile, in the most popular area of Madrid, Diego works in his family’s printer while struggling to pave his path as a reporter. These are vibrant years for journalism, in which the articles published in El Imparcial, El Liberal, and La Correspondencia newspapers are commented daily by all Madrid residents. It will be precisely in one of these newspapers where Victoria and Diego’s paths will cross for the first time.
 
A tribute to the first women journalists
Following the success of Un destino propio / A Fate One's Own, Maria Montesinos now continues her trilogy about the first women who, at the dawn of the 20th century, dared to fight to be able to work in their profession. Inspired by the true stories of so many women journalists forced to hide under a male pseudonym in order to get published, this novel recreates a fascinating historical era and invites us to live an exciting love story.
