Winner of the GEMELA 2022 Award, Book Category! "Muchos elementos hacen de esta obra un trabajo de gran interés. El primero de ellos es que nos permite asomarnos a la historia de la Orden fundada por Teresa de Jesús, y a la misma historia de la Iglesia —en una época tan condicionante como es la contrarreformista— desde una perspectiva femenina, dejando hablar a las protagonistas. Más aún, acercándonos a la voz de su intimidad, recogiendo palabras privadas, como son las de la mayoría de las cartas."- María José Pérez González
