A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los dems. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolucin. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y tambin las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilizacin y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos. Este extraordinario documento de feminismo avant la lettre se compone de dos cartas que reclaman, ya en el siglo XVII, el acceso de las mujeres al saber. Sor Juana, que us el hbito para acercarse a las letras, escribe con fuerza y encanto, y estos textos, en parte autobiogrficos, son de una riqueza impresionante y sorprenden al conectar con muchas de nuestras preocupaciones actuales. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From Sor Juana Ins de la Cruz, an extraordinary feminist document avant la lettre demanding women's access to knowledge. 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 brought enlightenment, outrage, provocation and comfort. They have enriched lives and destroyed them. Taurus publishes the works of great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas have shaken civilization and driven us to be who we are. This extraordinary feminist document avant la lettre is composed of a pair of seventeenth-century letters demanding that women have access to knowledge. Sor Juana, who became a nun to devote herself to study, writes with a strong and captivating style. Part of the richness of these semi-autobiographical texts is their surprising connection with modern-day concerns.
