Kim (Spanish, Purdue U.) introduces the 15th-century Spanish writer and nun, Teresa de Cartagena. She is notable because she was deaf and marginalized in her community, but took to writing against the patriarchal dismissal of women's intellect, particularly her own. She wrote two treatises: Arboleda and Admiración. Kim locates her in a line of European women intellectuals and traces the influences on and of her writing. Teresa de Cartagena wrote about the suffering of her deafness and about experience social marginalization as both a woman and disabled person. Kim outlines what we know of Teresa de Cartagena's life, as well as the religious and otherwise traditional discourses that shaped Teresa's life and writing. In later chapters, Kim examines the structure and thematic unity of her first treatise Arboleda, the theme of virtue in the later Admiración, explores the condition of women writers in the Middle Ages under the male chauvinism, and the use of irony in her appeal to women's right to write.
