Abstract

This article studies the sermons on female saints of the Carmelite Cristóbal de Avendaño, preacher of the Spanish Golden Age. The misogynist mentality persists in the background of speech. The feminine sanctity is associated to the virginity and it conditions the ideas on the sanctity in the marriage and the maternity. But the modern figures of sanctity offer the image of active women in the life of the Church, by their revelations and their wisdom.
