Engañadoras

Engañadoras is a Spanish term that translates to "deceivers" or "tricksters" in English. It refers to individuals, typically women, who are perceived to be manipulative and dishonest, often using charm or pretense to mislead others for their own gain. The concept can be found in various cultural contexts and literary works, often portraying engañadoras as cunning figures who exploit vulnerabilities. Historically, the term has sometimes been used to devalue or dismiss women who exhibit agency or assertiveness, assigning them a negative label. The perception of someone as an engañadora is subjective and depends heavily on cultural norms and individual interpretation.
