Feminismo y superación corporal
Nerea Pérez de las Heras reconstruye su vida y su cuerpo tras perder una pierna
Anonymous
Journalist Nerea Pérez de las Heras lost her right leg in an accident. Now she's written a powerful book called 'Fantasma' (Ghost) about life after amputation. La Opinión de Murcia reports that she explores how feminism helped her accept her changed body.
The book goes beyond survival stories. Pérez de las Heras reflects on real struggles: healthcare systems, financial costs, dependency, and society's demand that disabled people seem superhuman. Her account challenges the myth that overcoming disability means erasing pain.
From Accident to Amputation
An accident changed everything for Pérez de las Heras when she lost her right leg. Diario de Mallorca notes her new book reconstructs this turning point and everything that followed. The amputation forced her to confront physical pain, grief, and the slow process of learning to live differently.
Feminism as a Tool for Self-Acceptance
Pérez de las Heras credits feminism with helping her make peace with her body. El Correo Gallego explains that feminist thinking gave her a framework to reject shame. Instead of hiding her disability, she learned to see her body as valid and worthy — scars, prosthetic leg, and all.
The Hidden Costs of Disability
Her book tackles money problems that nobody discusses. El Periódico de Extremadura reports that Pérez de las Heras examines how healthcare, prosthetics, and daily adaptations drain savings. She also writes about dependency — needing help with tasks most people do alone — and how that changes your sense of independence.
Breaking the 'Superhuman' Disability Myth
Society pressures disabled people to inspire others by seeming invincible. La Opinión de A Coruña notes that Pérez de las Heras rejects this narrative in 'Fantasma'. She refuses to pretend her loss wasn't devastating. Instead, she shows how grief, anger, and frustration are normal — and that acceptance doesn't mean erasing real suffering.
