The article proposes that Las maravillas (2020), by Elena Medel, shows the double social exclusion to which working women in Spain have been subjected, not only because of their status as women, but because they are poor. Likewise, it is desired to demonstrate that Medel's text puts on stage the ability of this social group to reflect on its precarious situation, organize itself and face said exclusion, all thanks to the emergence of female agency. Finally, the novel also affects the permeability of these women's family ties, which are redefined by the social class to which they belong.
