Contra la ignorancia de las mujeres

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves and others. They have inspired debate, discord, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives, and they have also destroyed them. Taurus publishes the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and propelled us to be who we are. This extraordinary document of feminism avant la lettre is made up of two letters that demand, already in the 17th century, women's access to knowledge. Sor Juana, who used the habit to approach letters, writes with strength and charm, and these texts, partly autobiographical, are impressively rich and surprise in connecting with many of our current concerns.
