Brutal e imprescindible

5 stars

Ya sabíamos del papel de la religión católica en la educación, y del daño que produce especialmente en las mujeres. Aquí, Tara Westover nos pone negro sobre blanco la situación de las mujeres mormonas y su educación en un mundo gobernado por una iglesia que las considera un simple bulto. Debería ser lectura obligatoria en el instituto.
