Synopsis:

Una feliz catástrofe (A Fortunate Catastrophe) is a classic for addressing gender equality. It tells the story of a ”catastrophe” that turns everything upside down. From a monotonous life, to adventures and new roles in the family. Because sometimes, every cloud has a silver lining.

When approaching this book in the classroom, it is worth reflecting on the break it makes with the morals of the time in which it was published, which shows its truly pioneering character.
