Beatriz Luengo Madrid, 1982. Actress, dancer, singer and producer. One step forward girl, winner of two Grammy and star in France. His first book, The Awakening of the Muses (Destiny) brings together stories of forgotten talented women.

I saw the motto of the book: «I am Eva, I am María Magdalena, I am Mileva». And the name of Mileva I had to look for it, the truth, because with that is all said why this book. Without Mileva Maric, there would be no Theory of Relativity, his doctoral thesis is the first stone of the theory. Einstein was given the Nobel and Mileva's name we have to look for him. Does the result of looking for stories like this leave her a little sad? I think of Nannerl, the sister Mozart said was the only music he could never reach and whose music we have lost, we will never listen to. But I also know how to see the glass half full, I feel that we are at a time when equality is the great struggle of this era, the most beautiful. 50 years ago, women could not have a bank account, I know that many things have changed. What about you? Has it been allowed to steal merits for going from poor girl? Well, look ... That's it, yes, but I must not fall into victimhood, nor compare myself with the stories that appear in the book, because it would be disrespectful. My father, my boy, the men around me have been flattering to my career, they have given me wings. What I do know is that there are men who have a hard time accepting that a woman makes the decisions and gives instructions. It is more difficult for me to mark my criteria with the musicians, rather than for Yotuel [his partner, the Orishas singer]. And that is because people are more skeptical of the female boss or because of an insecurity problem transmitted to the girls ? I have thought a lot. And, honestly, I don't look like the typical girl who goes with her head down, I'm not in a row. I have a dance school open for 15 years, I have experience and I go through life with my eyes open and with joy. Then ... It is not even a problem of machismo or feminism, it is a problem that there are insecure people whose attitude Before life is cowardice and they feel that their way of achieving their goals is to kneel to others. How old did you start in this business? With 12 years I was in the circus of Miliki and Rita Irasema. Then I signed a contract with Polygram, with 15 I started making Peter Pan in Gran Vía ... I did series, movies, I made a step forward with 18, I went to France and I was number one with my songs ... That means it was autonomous for the money since ... Since 25. But I gave the money to my parents, who kept it in an account. At 18 I already had a credit card and I was completely autonomous. Are you glad you were so early or are you sorry you didn't extend your childhood? I don't feel like I missed anything. It was my decision and I only have gratitude for my parents, because I know they would have preferred me to study. Because he was also a good student, and I thought about the world 20 years ago. Was it a piranha pond for an ambitious and cute baby? Like everywhere. There is a complicated side, people who are in take off you to put me on. But I do not feel that the disappointments I have had are for that. THE LAST QUESTION: I think they are still taking a step forward in many countries. Do you still have any money for the series? If the disc we made still owes me some royalties . I begin to make up my mind that I will not be able to collect that money.
