En las elecciones de Faguas –país imaginario que aparece en las novelas de Gioconda Belli– ha triunfado el PIE (Partido de la Izquierda Erótica).
Sus atrevidas integrantes tienen un propósito inclaudicable: cambiar el rumbo de su país, limpiarlo como si se tratara de una casa descuidada, barrerlo hasta sacarle brillo.
Pero nada de esto resulta fácil para la presidenta Viviana Sansón y sus ministras, sometidas a constantes ataques por parte de sus enemigos.
¿Podrán sobrellevarlo y sobrevivir? ¿Será Faguas, al final de su administración, un país mejor?
El país de las mujeres es una novela divertida y audaz, por la que la reconocida autora nicaragüense obtuvo el Premio Hispanoamericano de la Novela La Otra Orilla.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
What would happen if gender roles were reversed?
In the national election of Faguas –imaginary country that is featured in Gioconda Belli’s novels- the ELP (Erotic Left-Wing Party) has triumphed. It is a party formed by women willing to change things in a country entirely dominated by men. During its government, the ELP makes many changes aimed at respecting the sensibility of women, family and work conciliation and equality between men and women, and for this they make a radical decision: that men leave the spotlight for six months, leaving only women in the positions of responsibility, which up until that moment had been occupied by men. Thus, the men of Faguas must cover the role of women: housekeeping and raising the children. This revolutionizes the country, which, after a terrible terrorist attack to its president, must make a decision: can women remain in charge or do they need a new election?
