Ganador del British Academy Book Prize in 2022 y finalista del National Book Award in Criticism 2022

Cuatro chilenas que, a lo largo del siglo veinte, cometieron impactantes homicidios protagonizan los casos que la escritora Alia Trabucco Zerán investigó durante años para escribir estos ensayos que trazan un relato inquietante y provocador: el de cómo la sociedad, los medios y el poder reaccionaron frente a estas criminales que rompieron, violentamente, con el lugar doméstico y pasivo que se les tenía reservado. Un libro que, con una prosa concisa y reflexiva, cuestiona radicalmente aquello que hemos asumido como normal.

«En un momento en que el feminismo se ha tomado las calles para denunciar las dimensiones epidémicas de la violencia de género, el por qué escribir ahora sobre mujeres asesinas no es una pregunta trivial», se plantea Alia Trabucco Zerán, y la búsqueda de una respuesta es justamente lo que subyace en estas páginas sutiles e inteligentes, en las que las narraciones de los crímenes dialogan con un texto ficcional y, también, con los diarios que la autora llevó mientras investigaba y donde quedan planteados los obstáculos y dilemas a los que se enfrentó al abordar un tema tan incómodo como revelador.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

British Academy Book Prize in 2022 and was a finalist of the National Book Award in Criticism 2022

A genre-bending feminist account of the lives and crimes of four women who committed the double transgression of murder, violating not only criminal law but also the invisible laws of gender.

When Women Kill: Four Crimes Retold analyzes four homicides carried out by Chilean women over the course of the twentieth century. Drawing on her training as a lawyer, Alia Trabucco Zerán offers a nuanced close reading of their lives and crimes, foregoing sensationalism in order to dissect how all four were both perpetrators of violent acts and victims of another, more insidious kind of violence. This radical retelling challenges the archetype of the woman murderer and reveals another narrative, one as disturbing and provocative as the transgressions themselves: What makes women lash out against the restraints of gendered domesticity, and how do we--readers, viewers, the media, the art world, the political establishment--treat them when they do?

Great find!!
Color: White Rose Velvet, Color: White Rose Velvet
This thing rocks. I hope it lasts longer than my last gaming chair bc it was double the price. It arrived days earlier than estimated, is soft, comfortable, and really pretty. I did not love the instructions, but I figured out assembly without too much trouble. It reclines without falling over and goes up and down smoothly. My cats immediately love it, so I’m really happy! Let’s hope it withstands longevity.

Great and comfy
Color: White
This is genuinely such a good chair and super comfy, the assembly was a little confusing at first but it’s very simple once you get started. I’m 5’2 and it’s nice and big, you can sit however you want and although it is expensive I do think it’s worth it. You can fully recline down to sleep if you wanted as well. It’s nicely designed and sturdy. Definitely get it if you are thinking about it!!

LIFE-CHANGING. The only chair you'll ever want or need.
Color: Black
So... This chair has absolutely changed my life. I don't often leave reviews, but this is WORTH IT. I want one in every room in my home. Just as the other reviewer with the 'life-changing chair' title to their review: I've had 100% the same experience - especially as someone who sits 3,000 different ways w/ ADHD lol. So, in addition to agreeing with all those comments... I'll just add a few more thoughts here to further convince you: - I received the Cream/Teddy one as a Christmas gift and have literally have looked forward to sitting it in for work every. single. morning. for work. - I *ALSO* purchased a second one in the black velvet one to gift to my partner and his experience has also been 'life-changing.' (The black velvet is definitely sleeker looking, almost a teeny slippery, but just beautiful fabric. Love it. A note here: the fabric came with a crease, which steamed out no problem.) - I sit and edit websites and photo/video everyday, all day, for work, and I also spend a good chunk of my time gaming with my partner. (Now we are *both* very comfortable for those longer 5+ hour sessions.) - Previously I had tried the viral criss-cross chair and while it was cute and great at first, it just didn't hold up and started causing numb spots on my lower back after ~2 hours. Not an all-day chair at all. This one has solved all back issues for me! Size: definitely big & the back is quite a tall height but it makes you feel cozy, supported, *and* you can lean back, recline, adjust every little bit you like, have space for a velcro cat, sit criss-cross or 3,000 other ways as a ADHDr trying to sit all day, lol, etc. -- all things I was looking for in an upgrade. For reference, it fits someone 5'5" to 6"5" just as comfortably. I'd say it feels on the bigger side for someone under 6 foot, but personally, I love that. It's like a real adult chair - much needed if you sit for 6+ hours a day. Leg rest: Easy to flip out, I love using this so you can sit cross cross AND lean back, or just as extra 'accommodate the cat' space. Noise level: the arms clicking down/adjusting is loud, but I don't find myself adjusting them all that often. Especially when my cat claims this chair first, anticipating the start of our work day. Comfort level: 100% and 2.5-3 months in, it's still going strong and I'm more obsessed each day. *To the store: THANK YOU for making this chair, please never stop. *To the person reading this review: BUY IT. Let this be the review to convince you - your cat will take over the chair and you'll have to fight over it, it's that comfy. I mean, they know best, do they not?

Beautiful sturdy, cozy chair, BUT…..
Color: White, Color: White
Updated review. I was so excited to get this chair that I jumped the gun and wrote the review prior to spending more time seated. I only have one issue, which is the back bottom of the seat cushion. That’s a big deal. It appears so thick, fluffy and inviting, however, when I sat in it for a couple of hours it completely went flat in the back feeling like I was sitting on a board. I’m 5’4” 180 lbs, which means my feet don’t touch the floor so adding a cushion will elevate me a little more. I’m OK with that but it’s going to ruin aesthetic of the chair which is which is not ok. I do love the idea of this chair. It’s design and the color. I wish the seat cushion had a zipper, which would eliminate my issue. I’d say if you’re someone who has to spend a lot of hours in this chair, you probably won’t like it. I do like the reclining back and the foot rest. It is comfortable to lay back but that doesn’t change the issue in the back bottom of the seat cushion. I absolutely love this chair, I didn’t want to get up. It’s beautiful and cozy. Assembly was easy as I’ve assembled chairs before. I changed the wheels to a double roller blade easy on hard wood floors. I also scotch guarded the entire chair. This chair is sturdy and well made.
