The comic 'Relaciones peligrosas', created by Koldo Azpitarte and Mikel Bao, offers a fascinating look into the life of Enriqueta Lewy, who served as the secretary to Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. The narrative not only chronicles her professional journey but also sheds light on the rivalries within the scientific community and the broader societal changes during Spain's transition to democracy.
In one of the illustrations, Lewy is depicted alongside her friend Estela Galván, capturing the essence of their relationship and the challenges they faced in a male-dominated field. The comic serves as both a tribute to Lewy's contributions and a reflection on the historical context of her life.
This exploration of Lewy's life is particularly significant as it highlights the often-overlooked roles of women in science and their contributions to the field of neuroscience, a discipline that has seen considerable evolution since Lewy's time.
