In recent years, while conducting research on the history and genealogy of feminist thought, Dora García has been studying a significant number of historical artefacts. Displayed together with the corresponding original books, this collection of letters written by remarkable women is permeated with profound disenchantment in personal and collective matters. Letters of Disappointment brings up the complicated relationship between socialism and feminism: the progressive achievements of the revolution and its unfulfilled promises. And yet, far from sounding defeatist, this texts provide a common ground for the awakening of new solidary resistance.
