Sacralización femenina y experiencia mística en la prerreforma castellana

I review the phenomenon of visibility and symbolic insertion of feminine sacred power in the ecclesiastical institutions detected in the Castile of the Pre-Reformation. Used as a base is the analysis of the tortuous process of genesis of the Order of the Immaculate Conception and of the formulation - oral, written and in part, canonical - of a saving and ministerial feminine by Juana de la Cruz and her religious community. Projects of women who were protagonists of a Marian mystical typology who managed to achieve public recognition of their authority and to insert themselves in the institutional ecclesiastic sphere to be valued in a context of feminist initiatives demanding change.
