A compilation of interviews with thirty different women living in Mexico and with which the author has a conversation about the history of her life around the issues raised. They are women of all ages, status, professions and different places of residence in Mexico. Sallarès particularly pays attention to the female orgasm, which in a Mexican expression is referred to as a ‘little death’, from which the title Las Muertes Chiquitas (The Little Deaths) takes its name. Women of all kinds are included in this project – refugees, sex workers, queer and trans women, indigenous and many more.
