This project begins with a seemingly simple question: who was Manolita Daza i Castellà? The journey to find the answer has been one of constant discovery, filled with small stories that, in the end, are what shape a life. Through conversations, family memories, photographs, and silences, this work reconstructs the memory of a woman and, at the same time, of a particular era.

The thread running through this story is stockings: the object around which much of her professional life revolved, having worked with them for over thirty years. Stockings thus become a metaphor for the passage of time, for fragility, but also for persistence.

The book tells her story in the first person, weaving it together with historical events that shaped her throughout the 20th century. This project is a way of not forgetting, of pulling the threads that connect us to previous generations and making them visible. Because even the humblest lives are full of stories worth telling.
