It took Mexican scholar, novelist, and poet Cristina Rivera Garza 30 years to be able to write about what happened to her younger sister.

Liliana Rivera Garza was murdered by her abusive boyfriend in an act of femicide.

Rivera Garza's book Liliana's Invincible Summer has became part of a collective call for justice in Mexico, one of the most dangerous countries for women.
