I am the book:

Women, Metamorphosis of the Butterfly Effect written by María Suárez Toro and currently being published in Spanish by Editorial Farben/Norma in Costa Rica. The author has re-birthed be into a virtual character so that you can interact with me while she finds a way to publish me in English also.

I have a literary pseudonym - Soyla Mar de Cambios – in my interactions with you. I am strictly open source technology because I want to contribute the struggle and development of the democratic architecture of the internet but you can access me for any computer as I am fully compatible with all. Women throughout history have challenged and transformed traditional forms of thinking and analysis.

New visions of collaboration and community

From science and art to human rights and politics, their contributions have led to important shifts in paradigms, shifts in the very ways we understand and make sense of the world. Yet these women and their actions remain largely unrecognized and misinterpreted. The book tells their stories and connects them to the challenges of today. With current paradigms of power and domination leading humans to near extinction through violence, greed, and environmental degradation, these women offer new visions of collaboration and community that are urgently sought by everyone concerned about the future of the planet.

This life-affirming shift in paradigms opens the way for people to gain a deeper understanding of how knowledge is developed, challenged and applied across history. It inspires people to act with a greater spirit of critical inquiry, solidarity and hope, encouraged by the fact that small gestures in one place can have profound impacts across society. Featuring women from around the world and across the ages, the book breaks new ground by making visible the contributions of scientists, artists, activists, and scholars to important transformations in how we think about the world. Based on a diversity of literary forms and careful research, it incorporates testimonies, interviews, and imaginary letters that combine fact with imagination to bring each woman and her wisdom to life.

Open and live

I am an open and live book because I am always under development. However, this does not mean that I have no limits. I expect you to quote me if you use me. Please give me credit in order to help me become visible and grow.

You and the women you know who have made significant contributions to a change of paradigm can become a part of me if you write about them to me or simply resonate with them in your own way.

Support

I am looking for support to finish translating myself and I am also looking for a publishing house in English that would like to give me a home. If you have ideas or connections about this, they are most welcome.

I am about letting the imagination fly while remaining grounded in women’s experiences and contributions also.
