Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

For millions of women in Hispanic communities, the combination of machismo and marianismo is not just a cultural dynamic. It is a source of lasting trauma.

In this carefully researched study, Dr. David Sequeira examines the two gender ideals that have shaped Hispanic culture for generations: machismo, which demands dominance and control from men, and marianismo, which conditions women to accept it in silence. At the heart of his work is the documented link between this dynamic and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in women who have lived inside it.

Drawing on cultural analysis and decades of observation, Dr. Sequeira traces how these attitudes are passed down, how they manifest in relationships and families, and what it costs the people who carry them.

His conviction is that awareness is where change begins. This book is for anyone who has lived these patterns, loved someone who has, or wants to understand why they persist and how they end.
