IN SPANISH
Translated by Maria del Carril and Angela Signorini.
Publisheer: Mar Dulce (Argentina)
Philosopher, playwright, and scientist, Margaret Lucas Cavendish explored every literary genre. She was the first author to champion the position of women in 17th-century England.
Una mente propia: Selección de Cartas sociables y Discursos femeninos (A Mind of Her Own: A Selection of Sociable Letters and Feminine Discourses) brings together pieces that could easily be read as essays in the tradition of Michel de Montaigne. With dazzling irony, Cavendish questions the patriarchal imprint on the customs of domestic life, reveals the pitfalls of motherhood, the rivalry in friendship, and the compromises of marriage. Read today, Cavendish impresses with her incredible modernity.
