| Abstract | This paper explores the works of the 15th-century Castilian woman author, Teresa de Cartagena, from the perspective of intersectionality. This exploration reveals the selective activation of different layers of the author's identity in her works, according to her communicative aims and the reactions subsequent to their reception. Such a process reveals the fluidity of the literary fashioning of the authorial identity visible in these works. Resumen: Esta conferencia explora las obras de Teresa de Cartagena, escritora castellana del siglo XV, desde la perspectiva teórica de la interseccionalidad. Dicha exploración pone de relieve la activación selectiva de diversos aspectos de su identidad efectuada por la autora en sus obras conforme a su intención comunicativa y a las reacciones ante su recepción. Ello revela la fluidez de la plasmación literaria de la identidad autorial detectable en esas obras.
