Abstract
En los siglos xvi y xvii se extienden por España grupos de mujeres que resultan insólitas a ojos de la sociedad, de la doctrina y de la Inquisición. Las beatas viven solas, sin obediencia a padres y maridos, y de forma independiente. No son monjas aunque algunas llevan hábito, y prometen castidad aunque no realizan votos. Son muestra clara de una nueva espiritualidad que las hace sospechosas, como mujeres y como católicas. Muchas de ellas encuentran en la posesión demoniaca un camino de perfección.
Groups of women, unwonted in the eyes of society, doctrine, and Inquisition, spread throughout Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Blessed live on their own, with no abidance to a father or husband. Although they wear the habit, they are not nuns; and although they promise chastity, they take no vows. As both women and Catholics, they raise suspicion as a clear sign of a new spirituality. Many find, in the demonic possession, a path to perfection.
