Ella es el Matador
Ella es el Matador (She is the Matador) For Spaniards – and for the world – nothing has expressed the country’s traditionally rigid gender roles more powerfully than the image of the male matador. So sacred was the bullfighter’s masculinity to Spanish identity that a 1908 law barred women from the sport. E...

Ella es el Matador (She is the Matador) For Spaniards – and for the world – nothing has expressed the country’s traditionally rigid gender roles more powerfully than the image of the male matador. So sacred was the bullfighter’s masculinity to Spanish identity that a 1908 law barred women from the sport. Ella es el Matador (She is the Matador) reveals the surprising history of the women who made such a law necessary, and offers fascinating profiles of two female matadors currently in the arena, the veteran Maripaz Vega and neophyte Eva Florencia. These women are gender pioneers by necessity. But what emerges as their truest motivation is their sheer passion – for bullfighting and the pursuit of a dream.

SINOPSIS EN ESPAÑOL Para los españoles – y para el resto del mundo – no hay símbolo de masculinidad que se exprese de forma más clara que la imagen del matador. De hecho, para preservar la masculinidad del torero, en 1908 se prohíbe que las mujeres participen en la fiesta. Ella es el Matador (She is the Matador) revela la sorprendente historia de las mujeres que hicieron que esta ley fuera derogada. La película ofrece retratos fascinantes de dos mujeres que hoy participan en la fiesta: la veterana Maripaz Vega y la novillera italiana, Eva Florencia. Estas mujeres son pioneras por necesidad y lo que el espectador descubre es su verdadera pasión por el toro y por la realización de un sueño.

Over the past few decades, life for many women across the globe has changed beyond all recognition. This fascinating series explores how, from the highest echelons of society, to the lowest rungs of the global ladder, a quiet revolution has been taking place. Women today have the power of self-determination; the autonomy to choose their own life paths and identities, rather than those enforced on them. And while there is still oppression and repression from West to East, females the world over are grasping opportunities denied to those who went before them.
There has never been a better time to be born a woman thanks to recent progress on equal rights. In a major new four part series, BBC World News meets the women forging new paths and defying expectations in a still male-dominated world. Her Story: The Female Revolution - starts with women in power.
