In response, she received an anonymous letter which, among other things, said: “Luisa, I didn’t choose to call you that. I didn’t even choose to have you, for me you’re just the most painful wound I had at 18. I was a girl, younger than you are now. Everything I dreamed of and everything I could have hoped for, but certainly not the violence I suffered and of which you are the symbol”.
