Titoli in Saggi

Un relato agridulce y entretenidísimo escrito con mano maestra. Una obra mayor del ensayismo en castellano.

Educada para aparentar y no para vivir su vida, la mujer de la época, sirvienta del hogar, enfocó el matrimonio como objetivo excluyente.

Una sola respuesta: independencia económica y personal, es decir, Una habitación propia.
