Las chicas buenas van al cielo y las malas a todas partes
by Ute EhrhardtEl éxito internacional con más de 1.000.000 ejemplares vendidos. Un análisis sobre la mujer en la sociedad y una lección sobre la vida. La mayoría de las mujeres prefieren ser buenas antes que disfrutar de la vida; durante generaciones se les ha inculcado que han de ser resignadas y complacientes. Pero la experiencia demuestra que solo aquellas que conocen sus metas y luchan por ellas, digan lo que digan los otros, las alcanzan. A lo largo de este libro la autora analiza las coartadas, amenazas y trampas que las mujeres se tienden a sí mismas para impedirse el acceso a una forma más amplia y enriquecedora de existencia: tópicos, prejuicios, reflejos de sumisión están tan interiorizados que son lastres en el camino de su plena realización. Para luchar contra ellos, Ute Ehrhardt propone una serie de estrategias cuyo fin es liberar a las mujeres de los sentimientos de culpa y de la mala conciencia que les produce su derecho a intentar ser felices por ellas mismas.
