La movilidad y la violencia contra las mujeres en los espacios públicos de la Ciudad de México
El ejemplar que el lector tiene en sus manos es un esfuerzo colectivo para ofrecer un diagnóstico de los riesgos de ser víctimas de violencia que enfrentan las mujeres al transitar cotidianamente en una metrópoli como la Ciudad de México. El libro resulta relevante para el debate actual sobre la urgencia de implementar políticas públicas que contribuyan a erradicar la violencia sistemática presente en los espacios públicos y particularmente en el transporte, así como para examinar los retos que enfrentan las mujeres para acceder al espacio público de manera segura y equitativa, desde la salida del hogar hasta llegar al destino deseado. Esta obra ofrece un panorama general de la situación de movilidad de las mujeres e incluye datos estadísticos respecto a zonas de riesgo en el espacio público; explora las percepciones y testimonios de las propias usuarias respecto a las causas de la violencia y a situaciones concretas y, finalmente, ofrece una orientación respecto a las acciones que pueden abordar las políticas públicas con el objetivo de garantizar el acceso de las mujeres a una vida libre de violencia.

Malinche
An extraordinary retelling of the passionate and tragic love between the conquistador Cortez and the Indian woman Malinalli, his interpreter during his conquest of the Aztecs. Malinalli's Indian tribe has been conquered by the warrior Aztecs. When her father is killed in battle, she is raised by her wisewoman grandmother who imparts to her the knowledge that their founding forefather god, Quetzalcoatl, had abandoned them after being made drunk by a trickster god and committing incest with his sister. But he was determined to return with the rising sun and save her tribe from their present captivity. Wheh Malinalli meets Cortez she, like many, suspects that he is the returning Quetzalcoatl, and assumes her task is to welcome him and help him destroy the Aztec empire and free her people. The two fall passionately in love, but Malinalli gradually comes to realize that Cortez's thirst for conquest is all too human, and that for gold and power, he is willing to destroy anyone, even his own men, even their own love.
