Considering the presence and influence of educated women of letters
in Spain and New Spain, this study looks at the life and work of
early modern women who advocated by word or example for the
education of women. The subjects of the book include not only such
familiar figures as Sor Juana and Santa Teresa de JesAs, but also
of less well known women of their time. The author uses primary
documents, published works, artwork, and critical sources drawn
from history, literature, theatre, philosophy, women's studies,
education and science. Her analysis juxtaposes theories espoused by
men and women of the period concerning the aptitude and
appropriateness of educating women with the actual practices to be
found in convents, schools, court, theaters and homes. What emerges
is a fuller picture of women's learning in the early modern period.
