Coral Herrera

After finishing her doctorate (and due to the 2008 Spanish economic crisis), Gomez settled down in Costa Rica after a stay in Paris.^[2] She has published articles in different media outlets such as Pikara Magazine, El País, eldiario.es, and El Ciudadano, and has collaborated on programs such as La Tuerka.^[3]

The main theme of her work is the critique of romantic love from a gender and queer perspective.^[4] She argues that romanticism is a product of patriarchy and that it plays a fundamental role in the binary and hierarchical construction of gender inequality.^[5] Furthermore, she states that there are different ways of understanding and experiencing love that are more liberating and satisfying than traditional ones.^[6][7][8][9]
