Women at Work by Patricia Escalona

With over 20 years of experience in the publishing world, Patricia Escalona began her career at Ediciones B, first as a department assistant and then as a commissioning editor of different collections. She was part of the launch of Suma de Letras-Punto de lectura. After a period in New York working at The New Press, she returned to Barcelona to become a founding partner of Rocaeditorial. She then took charge of Malpaso's markedly feminist collection and is currently working freelance. In this new role, she edits books for different publishers, co-directs the international literary festival Capítulo Uno at Matadero Madrid and writes her books. Juegos reunidos feministas is her first published volume, but it will not be the last one. In March 2018, she participated in the launch, together with other colleagues, of the initiative Mujeres del Libro, which aims to obtain complete information on the employment situation of women in this environment, to fight against the wage gap, the lack of representation of women in the different areas of the world of books, the glass ceiling and the various forms of discrimination suffered by women in the performance of their work duties.
