Paperback. Condition: Fine. First edition. 147p., wrps. "Declaración de fe" is collection of essays by Rosario Castellanos on the place of women throughout Mexican history, starting from the idea that feminine culture did not exist in the past because women were uninterested in culture, other than poetry and sentimental novels. It also explores how, in pre-Hispanic times, women were considered the cause of all misfortune and instruments of evil to pervert clean and innocent men; and how Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz's ideas were received during the colonial era. Lastly, the work shows the social and cultural trajectory to the then-modern era -- at the time it was written, women had just been granted the right to vote and began to recognize the legal equality of women.
