In a world of loneliness and antagonism, packed with solitary heroes and victories against everyone, maybe the time has come to consider how history is made up of the collective, of shared ideals that lead small groups or entire nations to join forces and unite around a common goal. In the end, this is one of the ways one can interpret coexistence: we are all different but, if we want, we know how to be together, form alliances for common battles, collective adventures and shared ideals.

Is it better to win on your own or in a group? Two writers and essayists recount stories, often of women, and investigate the motivations powering the great engine of life: union and co-partnership, knowing how to sacrifice oneself for the group.
