Pamela Palenciano

Pamela Palenciano (Andújar, Spain, 1982) is a Spanish monologist, communicator and feminist activist, recognized for her theatrical monologue No solo duelen los golpes (Not only the blows hurt), an autobiographical story about gender violence through humor and irony.

Then she began a psychological therapy and contact with feminist movements, understanding that her case was not exclusively personal, but was part of a global problem because of living in a patriarchal and sexist society.

[3] Her play is inspired by one of the phrases that her psychologist told her in therapy: not only the blows hurt (no solo duelen los golpes).

[2] While living in El Salvador, she discovered theatre and reformulated the project to turn it into a monologue aimed both at secondary schools as well as the general public.

[4][5] She has staged No solo duelen los golpes in several countries in Latin America and in many Spanish cities[citation needed].
