Journalist Montse Virgili (Tarragona, 1976), presenter of the program Les dones i els dies on Catalunya Ràdio, debuts in literature with Els moixons (La Magrana), a novel about the women who have marked her. From the fishmonger who was missing half an arm and the pastry chef who gave her sweets without asking for anything in return to the almost illiterate grandmother who wrote in Spanish, Virgili crafts a narrative collage that accurately captures childhood in the 80s and is, at the same time, a firm tribute to women silenced by the patriarchy.

In a family of farmers, bricklayers and housewives, the journalist Montse Virgili (Tarragona, 1976) was the second person to go to university. Before studying journalism, she studied law, because at home they thought she was going to have "a profitable career." And although it was "the price to be able to leave home," she is now glad to have studied, she emphasizes in statements to theCompanies.
