Teresa de Cartagena
About
Teresa de Cartagena was a Spanish writer, mystic and nun who is considered to be the first Spanish female writer and mystic. She became deaf between 1453 and 1459. Her experience of deafness influenced her two known works Arboleda de los enfermos and Admiraçión operum Dey. The latter work represents what many critics consider as the first feminist tract written by a Spanish woman.
