Summary
A reminiscent novel about the challenges that the first female university students in Spain had to face. 1928. Catalina travels to Madrid against her mother's will to study to be a pharmacist and settles in at the Young Women's Residences. Her fantasy, her passion, and her desire to learn will soon lead her to make new friends, become involved in the political conflicts of the time, and to come into contact with feminist icons such as Elena Fortún and María de Maeztu. Her journey from a naive teenager to a woman with her own desires will be marked by a romantic triangle with two young people who come from opposite worlds and, above all, by doubts between marriage and her professional career. Because, at that time, a woman did have to choose. Will Catalina manage to make her greatest wish come true?
