Literatura e Feminismo na Escrivivência de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz: A denúncia da opressão feminina no poema “Hombres Necios”

Abstract

This work brings to light, based on the analysis of the poem Hombres Necios de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and the historical period in which she grew up, the oppression suffered by women of her time and proposes a reflection on how her work rejected the centralization of man's power in relation to women. The social context experienced by this nun greatly inspired her reports that significantly denounced hypocrisy camouflaged under religious dogmas and civic morality that placed women in a position of inferiority in society. At the end of the study, it was concluded that Sor Juana can be considered one of the many pioneers of Feminism, a brave nun who, even living under the aegis of patriarchy, published writings that denounced prejudice, discrimination and devaluation of women, becoming a reference in the international and national literary canon.
