Three Women for March 8th. Continuous radio reading of Three Women by Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath, born in Boston in 1932, wrote the poem "Three Women" to be read aloud; in fact, she read it on the BBC in 1962, a year before her death. It is a profoundly feminist and anti-war text in three voices that sheds light on the multiplicity of women's identities; a text that was also pivotal for the American poet, as it shifted her writing style toward oral performance.

From the Círculo de Bellas Artes We have decided to revive Three Women to unite, through poetry and voice as emblems of the deepest and most genuine expression, in the celebration of International Women's Day, with 8M in el Círculo: culture is feminineTo this end, we have brought together twenty women, both well-known and anonymous, connected to our institution, who have lent their voices to this continuous reading, which can be heard on this website and on Radio Círculo From Monday, March 8th. In order of appearance: Esther Ramón, María Sánchez, Sére Skuld, Amalia Iglesias, Julia Piera, Anna Stereopoulou, Silvia Nanclares, Carolina del Olmo, Rosa Linares, Elisabeth Duval, Eva Lootz, Fanny Rubio, Ana Alcaide, Patricia Esquivias, Natalia González, Carla López-Cotelo, Elena Iglesias, Sonia Frías, Luiza Grigoryan and Clara Serra.
