Summary Four communities of Spanish-speaking women determined by a close coexistence in Guatemala, Spain and Mexico, with varied characteristics and occupations (engaging in prostitution at the edge of old age, being victims of gender violence, belonging to ethnic minorities or dedicating to monastic life), come together in a common peculiarity: to live isolated, excluded from society, but in a constant struggle to belong to it. In their daily life, these women share tasks, converge in the same problems and agree on their different struggles for survival. All of them overcome the obstacles by preserving their respective identities and beliefs, and by taking refuge in the strength of the communities to which they belong. A deep reflection made through the double meaning of the word "Captivated" regarding gender inequality, the role of women in different cultures, the amazing interaction developed between women who live together, and the paradox of isolation and freedom.
