Abstract: (Feminine conventual autobiography: a “journey” into the colonial era) Seventeenth century in Latin America was a very restrictive era in many situations, like in many other continents. Women could not have an important role in the development of society and precisely because of that, there were many intellectual women who hid in the only places where they could develop that love for the Letters, into the convents. Although many of these women, which were nuns, believed that they would be able to get rid of this “clausure” society, in convents they could not free themselves from the burden imposed by society. There were some of them who managed to be a spark of many movements that took place, who became more famous centuries after, and which are worth mentioning: Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Sor Úrsula Suárez, Madre del Castillo or María de San José, nuns who have surpassed their status as simple nuns to become important figures in the history of writing. These nuns in the convents had the opportunity to write their lives through the “journey” to God, a journey that allowed them to be close to the Divine, but that, at the same time, allowed them to say everything that was wrong in that society. In this work, we will try to point out by a “journey”, starting from the writings of the nuns, in which a real world is shown to us and that in many occasions has even been compared with some biblical event or with the sufferings with those of the Virgin Mary.
