Una colección de relatos sobre mujeres que sufren violencia de género, discriminación laboral o acoso sexual. Pero es, sobre todo, una colección de relatos sobre mujeres fuertes y valientes. Los dos autores usan un abanico de géneros, como la ciencia ficción, el thriller fantástico o el horror, para mostrar las diferentes realidades de estas protagonistas. En la brutalidad de sus historias está la crítica, pero también la esperanza. Ocho historias descarnadas y duras, con toques de género pero siempre con una base real: la discriminación patriarcal.
