| description | Agustina González López, “la zapatera” (the shoemaker), is an almost unknown writer, painter and politician from Granada whose literary work has not been analyzed nor appreciated. This article will delve into the rhetoric strategies employed by the author in her work Justificación (1928) to safeguard her dignity. The objective is to discuss, in terms of gynocriticism and literary studies, the writing of this enigmatic woman. The results of the analysis reveal, on one hand, method to disempower women was to accusing them of being abnormal for disobeying social standards, and on the other hand, the writer’s ability to dismantle these discourses. Thus, the aim is to demonstrate that writing was a way to understand how women were perceived by society and, simultaneously, to seek their own identity outside of established roles and patterns. |

Agustina González López, “la zapatera”, es una escritora, pintora y política granadina casi desconocida cuya obra literaria aún no se ha analizado ni se ha puesto en valor. Este artículo se adentrará en la retórica y las estrategias empleadas por la autora en su obra Justificación (1928) para salvaguardar su dignidad. El objetivo es abordar, desde la ginocrítica y los estudios literarios, la escritura de esta enigmática mujer. Los resultados del análisis evidencian, por una parte, cómo acusar de anormales y locas a las mujeres fue el mecanismo para desautorizar a las que incumplieron las normas sociales y, por otra, la capacidad de la escritora para desmantelar estos discursos. De esta forma, se pretende demostrar que la escritura sirvió para entender cómo eran percibidas las mujeres por su sociedad y, a la vez, para buscar su propia identidad al margen de los roles y patrones establecidos. Agustina González López, “la zapatera”, é uma escritora, pintora e política quase desconhecida de Granada cuja obra literária ainda não foi analisada ou valorizada. Este artigo aprofundará a retórica e as estratégias utilizadas pela autora em sua obra Justificación (1928) para salvaguardar sua dignidade. O objetivo é abordar, a partir da ginocrítica e dos estudos literários, a escrita dessa mulher enigmática. Os resultados da análise mostram, por um lado, como acusar as mulheres de serem anormais e loucas foi o mecanismo para repudiar aquelas que não cumpriram as normas sociais e, por outro, a capacidade da escritora de desmontar esses discursos. Dessa forma, pretende-se demonstrar que a escrita serviu para compreender como as mulheres eram percebidas por sua sociedade e, ao mesmo tempo, buscar sua própria identidade fora dos papéis e padrões estabelecidos.
