''Feeling valued is the most important part of education.'' Siri Hustvedt

Siri Hustvedt has published works of fiction, essays, poetry and academic articles. Her work is underpinned by feminism, art, and science. She has written numerous books, notably: “A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women: Essays on Art, Sex, and the Mind,” “The Shaking Woman or a History of My Nerves,” and “What I Loved.” As long as bots continue to harbor gender bias, they will continue contributing to the perpetuation of gender inequality. This is why BBVA Next Technologies, BBVA’s advanced software company, is working to reduce this kind of bias, leveraging technology to bridge the gender gap. In 2019, she was recognized with Spain’s Princess of Asturias Award for Literature. Acknowledgement of her talent—erudite, curious, and feminist— is overdue having been overshadowed by her successful husband, Paul Auster. Few writers have managed to reach into the secrets of the mind with their stories as successfully as Siri Hustdvedt. All BBVA podcast episodes are available in the following platforms: iVoox, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and bbva.com.
