Sol, the protagonist of 'Casas limpias' (Clean Houses), published by Temas de Hoy, is a young, progressive woman who would like to live as much as possible in accordance with current feminist ideas. However, when she's fired from her job as an artist's assistant and discovers that she is pregnant, she hires two Latin American women to help around the house to do what her boyfriend, who works 12 hours a day, cannot.
This decision makes Sol feel ashamed and she starts to worry about what people will say, to the point of hiding so that her neighbour, from whose window hangs a flag with a purple fist, doesn't find out.
