All through these pages, the authoress carries out an intimist writing which shows Eleanor Marx´s admiration and tenderness. She was an avant-garde intellectual, a defender of women and the working class cause in England in the second half of the 19th century. An outstanding woman and with a great intelligence and personality; Eleanor spent her childhood and youth surrounded by important characters. She had a much higher education than it was usual at that age and with her different journeys and lovers, she challenged a lot of those conventions which the English society; which she loved and wished to change in similar parts, had imposed her. The house where she lived; marked by the respect towards her father´s image; the author of The capital, and her different love affairs, marked by a constant tragedy were two of the most intense novel features of her interesting biography which María José Silveira achieved to rescue to write this book.
