Este artículo analiza los ensayos feministas de Rosario Castellanos. Escritos desde los años cincuenta hasta principios de los setenta, sus ensayos, artículos y notas, publicados en periódicos, libros y revistas, denuncian la discriminación de género, la marginalización de lasmujeres, su borramiento social, cultural, debido a su supuesta inferioridad. Sus palabras son relevantes en pleno siglo XXI porque importa combatir anquilosadas asignaciones de género y luchar contra el pensamiento reduccionista de ‘lo femenino’ y ‘lo masculino’, exponiendo las armas y los mecanismos que han sido utilizados, a lo largo de la historia, para oprimir y marginar a las mujeres.
