| Description: |
An autobiography of a late 17th-century/early 18th-century Spanish-American woman. It captures the spirit of Baroque Mexico and the circumstances in which the majority of Spanish and Spanish American religious women wrote. |
| Synopsis: |
Madre Maria de San Jose (1656 - 1719)-mystic, chronicler, and co-founder of an Augustinian convent-inscribed her life story within the model of spiritual autobiography set by St. Augustine and Teresa of Avila, but at the same time included her individual story as a seventeenth-century woman of the landowning classes in New Spain. The resulting manuscript records in intimate detail her family life, convent surroundings, and social milieu; it introduces us to a combative and engaging person and gives us a rare and vivid glimpse of a complex society. |
