Testimonies by Black and Indigenous Women and Writings by Nuns during the Colonial Period
from Part I - Proto-Chilean, Colonial Chronicles and Letters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 September 2021
Research in colonial and convent archives reveals that women wrote much more than has been acknowledged to date. Within these writings, a first distinction can be made: firsthand accounts by women (letters, cloister writings) and texts written for women by others. The latter include legal claims and wills that, while written by others and following the typical regulations of the discourse to which they belong, offer accounts, and contribute to our knowledge, of these women’s reality.
