This is the story of Milena Jesensk???, who many know as Kafka's friend. And yes, the months of loving and intellectual relationship with Franz Kafka marked the lives of both. Nothing was the same for Milena, she transformed. She gained confidence in herself, in her writing, in her political stance in defense of feminism and democracy, and in her daring opposition to Adolf Hitler's regime. But Milena was much more than one of Franz Kafka's most important friends. She was also a mother, journalist, translator, writer, part of the intellectual elite that met in the cafes of Vienna, along with Musil, Karl Kraus, Werfel and Hermann Broch, a member of the resistance when Nazi troops invaded her country, Czechoslovakia. Milena rebelled against the traditional order that her father wanted to impose on her, against what her husband demanded of her in her marriage, against the secondary role that was assigned to women in newspaper editorial offices and in the world. labor. She was a generous lover of men and women in rebellion against the limits imposed on love. Based on the writings, articles and letters that have been preserved from Milena and the testimonies of those who knew her, Monika Zgustova reconstructs the life of that brave and fascinating woman who was Milena Jesensk???. She erects a tribute to the women who, in the turbulent and tragic years of the 1920s and 1930s, dedicated their lives to fighting for the dignity of women and victims of injustice.
