Las mujeres que soy

All the Women I Am is a collection of décimas that reads like an intimate manifesto. Rooted in Cuba, with a contemporary pulse, its poetry makes every line an act of defiance, a way for women to define themselves. Yudith Izaguirre Rodríguez follows the music of the décima through the layers of an identity shaped by memory, desire, wounds, tenderness and resistance.

In the first part, she returns to the stories that shaped childhood, with their princesses, stepmothers, heroes and promised endings. She gives them a voice that's more human, less obedient. In the second, she brings together women from myth and real life: Frida, Penélope, Pandora and Marilyn. Emotion, insight and the body shape her retelling. Their voices form a chorus that breaks silences and recasts symbols.

If you look for rhythm, beauty and character in poetry, this book is for you. It's for readers who want to see themselves in stories of equity, self-love and courage. Open these pages and let the voices of these women, past and present, keep you company.
