Jacinto Benavente made his debut as a poet with his 'Cartas de Mujeres' (Women's Letters), after which he ventured into the dramatic and produced 172 more works, most of which are plays. This collection of letters seeks to demonstrate and affirm "la superioridad del talento epistolar" (the superiority of epistolary talent) in women, exploring humanity through social and psychological lenses with beauty and eloquence.
