Black hair, 6 years old, unadorned criticism of modern society and declared enemy of the soup. This is Mafalda. He was born in Buenos Aires in 1963 (although it was published a year later) by the hand of the cartoonist, Joaquín Salvador Lavado, better known as Quino, who at the time did not imagine the impact that his peculiar personage would have For Argentina and for the world.

His first public appearance was on September 24, 1964, in the newspaper"Primera Plana". What seemed like a simple comic strip was gradually catching the audience, for Mafalda was much more than the story of a girl, the only child (in principle) of a middle-class marriage and her group of friends. What it really was about was a photograph of the problems, circumstances and customs of this social class, in a historical moment full of wars, social revolutions and conflicts between capitalism and communism.

Quino asserts that there was no particular reason for Mafalda to be a girl, but that was one of the details that made her stand out, appearing just as the feminist movement was just beginning to gather strength. Perhaps that was why his words had such an echo, being pronounced in a world that until then had been directed entirely by men.

The truth is that the ideas and reflections that Quino put in Mafalda made her the untouchable spokesperson of those who defended (and continue to defend) the fundamental rights of men, of those who criticize and oppose the system that still governs us today and Feminist advocates of gender equality.

Along with her mascot Bureaucracy (a tortoise) and her favorite toy, a globe, Mafalda transcended the borders of Argentina, flooded Latin America and reached the United States, Europe and Asia. During its nine-year history, it was honored on stages around the world and even after its farewell in 1973, it has been used as an image for advertisements on human rights, children's rights and cultural events.

Thus, what began as a simple cartoon that wanted to reflect the daily life of a girl and her family, has become a cultural reference whose thoughts are still in force, which makes their reading as much a joy as a motive reflection.
