This dialogue between graphic narrative and journalism opens the door to revisit the incisive, mischievous, and original gaze of a pioneer in Colombian newsrooms who resisted assuming a servile and silent role. In Emilia, Lina Flórez and Pablo Pérez, the founders of Altais Cómics, reconstruct with drawings a letter and a selection of autobiographical columns that Emilia Pardo Umaña wrote between 1935 and 1961. These vignettes are intended to ensure that her work is not lost in the piles of old newspapers.
