Memories of my life
$11.000
In these memoirs, Martina Barros captured a contradiction: that of an elite woman who, through her reading and writing, assimilated the socially imposed feminine role, while also expressing her conviction about the new role that women should play in society, constantly questioning the private role of a patriotic mother. She wrote from her position as a mother guardian of the family and a shaper of citizens, but through this, she sought to legitimize her demands for education and autonomy for women. She appropriated the traditional ideal instilled through education to demand women's rights, which were defended in her writing.

Martina Barros de Orrego
Chile. Niece of Diego Barros Arana, she grew up in a family that not only held political, economic, and social power, but also a marked intellectual vocation. She was educated, along with her siblings, in her uncle's home, who did not differentiate between men and women in terms of rigor and demands. Thus, Martina Barros was a 19th-century intellectual, and before turning twenty, she translated John Stuart Mill's work, "The Subjection of Women." Within the parameters of her time, she was a precursor to feminism, an organizer of gatherings and debates around women's spheres of freedom, their cultural education, and their eventual political participation.Related books
