Local journalist and author María Jesús Corrales has published a new work that highlights the achievements of pioneering women across the 20th century, drawing connections between historical events and the broader region around the Strait of Gibraltar.
Titled En el corazón de África, the book is rooted in Corrales’s interest in both history and storytelling. It explores the roles played by women at critical junctures of the last century, with a particular focus on how their efforts intersected with cultural and political shifts in communities near the Strait.
Corrales, known locally for her work in media and writing, uses En el corazón de África to spotlight figures whose contributions have often been overshadowed in mainstream historical narratives. The work is framed around detailed accounts of these women’s lives and the societal changes they helped shape, offering readers a nuanced look at key milestones in gender and regional history.
The book’s publication comes amid a global surge of interest in reassessing the impact of women in history, aligning with broader publishing trends that emphasize diverse voices and underrepresented stories. Many contemporary editors and authors within this movement seek to bring to light the legacies of women who effected change in fields ranging from politics to cultural exchange.

Her work underscores the importance of historical reflection and serves as an invitation for readers to explore the multifaceted contributions of women whose legacies continue to resonate today.
