should write about women, I know not whether alone or with the adjective "working." It is the day, is not it, but I'm certain laziness and embarrassment. In 95 I went to the Beijing conference of the idem (female, of course). I wrote my family a postal -3, these days I found a cleaner, showing part of my puzzlement that, since then, with me intermittently in this ... "Subject?
I doubt often a matter of principle or system, although I have some views and beliefs. It supports all, I think. I copy what I said 16 years ago. I'm afraid, as said yesterday July, that everything comes back, gives almost scary. Postal

Dear all, especially Mom: I've
5 days in Beijing. This postcard is very "cute", but does not reflect the chaos of this city and it looks like: an endless expanse of avenues where most hideous skyscrapers coexist with buildings from the 50's the saddest thing. It is the city of bicycles and cars, traffic is incredible, "are almost all official taxis or cars ... but some companies crowded bus.
In short, little poetry and nothing to do with "The Last Emperor" in aesthetic plan. There seems to be much misery, but poverty and a permanent haze, humidity 80% and the occasional red (the color, that is) that stands out from the posters (I love the color red, bubblegum pink and blue pure).

As I said, there are signs in the Chinese translated remind us (in English) the eternal friendship between the people and we welcome (¡¡¡!!!) the 70,000 women who have come to the Fourth World Conference on Women convened under the theme "Development, Equality and Peace." All very nice, ea. The Chinese are very friendly and polite, but be understood in English is complicated. Yesterday (day 30), started the NGO Forum is located 50 km from Beijing. We, as an NGO observer, we hope the conference that begins next Monday. There mess, a huge mess of ideas and ideologies. One is reminded of the curse of Babel. On the one hand, feminists of all kinds, (continued on 3) Postal
number 3 and last of the series (photo ruins of Beijing, small sun, cloudy sky or contaminated, no one knows ...)
... ecologists, pacifists, pro-life, Christian "militants", neo-conservative, fundamentalist, lesbian and in the midst of all this, we, we do not know quite where to place ourselves. I think it's a good experience, but I doubt the media will convey courts will be discussed here. I also doubt that the discussions will focus on what's important. On the other hand I doubt about what is important. Anyway, I think that I doubt I do not know if this is the best mood to attend an international conference. Does it? I often think of you and especially mother and Louise. Aurora
......................
not only left the hotel. I spent 10 days studying the document of the conference-was very naive, I still am, "preparing papers, working as a black woman. Attended, among others, Teófila, Cristina Almeida and many other policies in time for Beijing and buy at the market as they could (the fans to purchase many women sister apparently). We all had a great time, had fun and returned to Spain charmed life. Spain chaired the EU at that time. I really love this political class: they are always smiling and laughing. Unlike some that returned frankly puzzled (was my first time at a UN conference, and last, I had enough).
16 years later I continue with that confusion, with many of the questions and some of the convictions that time. I still believe that economic development is the best friend of women if they arrive. Perhaps this is a simple, but I think it is thanks to medical services, food, clean water, education and employment, something that benefits everyone, including women who often suffer in a special way those shortcomings (poor women, poor double frequently). I guess you have to be sustainable, but of course development. I think well see there is more inequality between an Ethiopian woman and me between a English man and me. Guilds and the ghettos, are women or whatever they are, "partnerships" women only "REPAT me, I say how I feel.
Respecto al "resto" –igualdad de oportunidades en un mismo medio, maltrato, etc.- me llevaría tiempo escribir. Sobre algunos temas que creo importantes , me interesan o simplemente me divierten , ya lo he hecho aquí y no quiero repetirme en exceso.
Tengo la sensación sin embargo de que "la causa de las mujeres" –si puede llamarse así, sería de la dignidad humana que a todos compete- está siendo utilizada en Occidente, y en especial en nuestro país, a menudo como parapeto de la ineptitud personal que no conoce género ni fronteras. Es más así mujerío que feminismo, una cosa populachera, frívola, corny to death, without weight, cliche, a topic of political correctness that I personally produced between shame and anger, something like when Telecinco speaks of freedom of expression: throw me the neck. In face of such women and men of any cause lost prestige, power, ends up being like them frivolous, without merit.
"And if we are the best good and what" that brandishes the slogan, curiously, for they have not given a stick to water and have no political career to an armchair, leans on the smile of "companion" (from party or whatever) with the same guarantee and slogan, is trendy and it costs effort. Ultimately going to be true: all alike ... telos (and Lelas). To equal the stupidity and back, something so disgusting as to equality by Visa , women's liberation otherwise use lately, another penalty.
And yet ... today I celebrated the day for working women because, despite this, I know that in the case of women there are many achievements since efforts of very competent women and men, some unfortunate setbacks, and of course some outstanding progress. Although this, again, there remain differences of gender and global at the moment is better to be a woman in the West, or at least I prefer it. I know it is not fashionable say this, but what I saw and what I see. With doubts in the background always on some issues and some convictions in this regard.
