SUMMARY:

The mystical experience projects the individual into an ethical transformation of themselves and the relationship they establish with the world. This projection leads the individual to follow a path in search of interiority, a self-knowledge that also transforms them in the face of their social and cultural reality. This change (or subjective construction of the self) occurs within the power and gender relations imposed by cloistered convent life. Thus, female mystical and “autobiographical” writing in the Early Modern Period points to women’s perception of life, spirituality, and themselves, even when subject to interference and censorship from their spiritual director. In view of the above, the research addresses the Catholic environment of modern Spain and its object is the writing of Mother Teresa of Jesus (1515-1582), reformer and founder of the Discalced Carmelite Order. A gender perspective is adopted when dealing with printed sources, namely: the publication princeps of 1588, containing the books Vida e Moradas del Castillo Interior; along with three biographies, which precede Teresa's canonization and were written by her confessors Francisco de Ribera (1537-1591), Friar Diego de Yepes (1530-1613) and Friar Jerónimo Gracián de la Madre de Dios (1545-1614).
