En esta excepcional antología la académica Clara Janés recoge composiciones de las primeras poetisas que escribieron en lengua castellana, mujeres que sintieron la inquietud de la creación y la desarrollaron hasta alcanzar las más altas cotas.Ya en el siglo XVII, María de Zayas y Sotomayor se quejaba así en La inocencia castigada: «¿Por qué, vanos legisladores del mundo, atáis nuestras manos para las venganzas, imposibilitando nuestras fuerzas con vuestras falsas opiniones, pues nos negáis letras y armas?». Afortunadamente, a pesar de estas injustas limitaciones, hubo creadoras a quienes su voluntad y unas circunstancias propicias permitieron entrar en el mundo de la literatura: Luisa Sigea, Mariana de Vargas y Valderrama, Leonor de la Cueva y Silva o Juana Inés de la Cruz son algunas de las cuarenta y tres extraordinarias poetisas cuya vida y obra Clara Janés nos ofrece en estos apasionantes retratos que recorren más de doscientos años de lírica española escrita por mujeres.
