This book offers the first critical translation into French of the two treatises composed by Teresa de Cartagena in the late 15th century, the Grove of the Infirm and the Wonder at the Works of God. They are the oldest surviving texts written by a female hand in the Castilian vernacular. Their content is strikingly original: the first one is a consolatory treatise in which the author, having become deaf, values illness and disability; the second one is a work of literary polemic in which she defends her authorship as a woman. Famous and well-studied since the 1970s in the Spanish and English-speaking scholarship, they remain little known in the French-speaking world. They come with an introduction that summarizes the lavish bibliography and provides some additional elements of context coming from the examination of the only surviving manuscript.

The woman question was a subject of discussion in post-independence Buenos Aires, reflected in the press and in the book world where writers contemplated the nature, role and status of women, linking the subjects to topics such as political transition, reform, modernisation, regional conflict and patriotic culture. This examination of a varied body of works dating from the 1820s, consisting of pamphlets, a history book, conduct literature and periodical literature, demonstrates the impact on these discussions of transatlantic print networks such as the book trade, and translations from Britain, France, and Spain.
