Main Article Content

Abstract

Physical suffering represents one of the means to launch an intellectual feminine discourse in order to overcome the limits imposed by misogynist medieval society. The Arboleda confirms Teresa de Cartagena's ideological and theoretical tendency to view suffering as holding a positive value while in practice the same did not occur. The discrimination and marginalization the author lived with because of her physical disability are explicitly and implicitly manifested through the religious and medical discourses of the time. By combining the negative connotations of deafness with the precepts of Christian doctrine, the Castilian nun succeeds in imposing her writing against misogynist society.
