Abstract (en)

The feminine literature if we understand by it writing of women, it has been characterized to be hidden in many occasions alter the emporium of men. Clear example of this is writers George Sand and George Eliot who by their alias, hide their feminine being to participate of the literary World of the time. With Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Madre del Castillo we have, in the Hispanic world two clear examples of sharp consciences and with an outstanding intelligence that had to hide alter the fears of the inquisition. Their confessors will be the fundamental key that silences their thought vivacity and the manifestation of it in their writing. The nun Jerónima used, to safeguard her autonomy a little, some keys that ratify her perspicacity and intelligence; on the other hand, the Madre del Castillo, was silenced easily by the confessor. In this way, the present article seeks to sketch the problem the inquisition and the intelligence; “between the blaze and the wisdom”.
