Teresa de Cartagena

Teresa de Cartagena (c.1425–) was a Spanish author and nun who fell deaf between 1453–1459, which influenced her two known works Arboleda de los enfermos (Grove of the Infirm) and Admiraçión operum Dey (Wonder at the Works of God). The latter work represents what many critics consider as the first feminist tract written by a Spanish woman.
