Article Description

This article aims to contrast the conservative and liberal sensibilities through the reactions of two women writers, Agripina Samper de Ancízar and Soledad Acosta de Samper, to the expulsion of the nuns from convents occurred in Colombia in 1863. Exploring this space of conflict offers renewed access to the sensibilities that disputed the social world of the time. In this sense, the article examines the language of affections and foregrounds the prominence of the economic component within liberal discourse, intertwined with the struggle for women’s autonomy and citizenship. The works examined include letters, diaries and novels that allow us to continue studying women's writing and navigate the almost unexplored space of nuns after colonial times.
