The biography of Maite Amaya, a transvestite trans activist from Córdoba (1980-2017) , foregrounds various popular struggles against capitalism and patriarchy. Maite was a piquetera, an anarchist, and defender of the rights of transvestite and trans communities. She left us a powerful legacy: the challenge of combining historical struggles in the present. And of inhabiting intersectionality in its militant power.

We made this comic in the hope that his life story will reach new spaces and generations.

“Maite is everything that must be put into play when fighting: joy, companionship, knowledge built through collective militant practice and shared with us. Rage and concrete, direct action in the face of injustice, pointing out those responsible, clearly identifying the enemy, always fighting back.” This is how her daughter, Mica Fernández Di Marco, described her.
