Narrado por la autora y sexóloga Sonia Encinas, Feminidad salvaje nos invita a abrir una caja de Pandora que lleva demasiado tiempo enterrada y a unirnos a una revolución que no necesita ni pancartas ni barricadas. Esta tiene lugar en lo más íntimo, en nuestra propia cama, en nuestro propio cuerpo, en nuestros propios ritmos sexuales y en la definición propia de la feminidad. Se trata de una sublevación ante lo que nos dijeron que debíamos ser y de una transformación que nos conecta con nuestra esencia más salvaje, aquello que no podemos (ni debemos) domar.

These Wild Girls tell stories of their own Wild Nights (and days,) memories too hot to keep undercover.

"De Profundis" è una lunga lettera che Oscar Wilde scrisse al suo compagno Alfred Douglas nel 1897. Wilde era stato processato ed incarcerato per omosessualità e scrisse il "De Profundis" dalla sua cella. È una lettera intensamente personale che indaga le fasi del dolore e intreccia il tema religioso con quello dell'arte. Fu pubblicata nel 1905, cinque anni dopo la morte di Wilde, con il titolo latino "De Profundis" che si traduce in "dal profondo". Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) è stato un drammaturgo, romanziere, saggista e poeta irlandese.
