Laura Freixas has just published Mi madre en el espejo (Tres Hermanas, 2026), a family and personal portrait. In the intimate sphere, her love for culture and a rebellion that does not accept passivity were forged: one becomes a feminist when she sees injustice and wants to change it. Her firm positions in the movement have brought her headaches, and we talk about this in this talk to get to know the writer and her yearnings.The book begins with a quote by Annie Ernaux that says: "To relive it all but without the pain, that only exists in writing". I do not believe you have taken this journey without pain, despite the writing.

Since 2002, I've traveled frequently to Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland). There, I have family and friends with whom I've shared a deep friendship for many years. And, of course, this country has become, over time, my second home after Barcelona.

Let's consider what will happen when it becomes normal for human beings to surpass the 100-year mark. We're talking about when, not if, because we can already assume that yes, sooner or later we will reach this point. We're already heading toward a future where aging will be treatable. It will no longer be considered inevitable, but we will be able to do something to improve it, slow it down, halt it, or even reverse it.
