María Zambrano's long exile included several sojourns in the Caribbean, both in Cuba and Puerto Rico, between 1940 and 1953. Significantly, the bulk of her feminist writing was done in these locations, perhaps due to her strained relationship with her husband and her collaboration with Gustavo Pittaluga on his treatise Grandeza y servidumbre de la mujer. This article examines Zambrano's feminist writing of the Caribbean period, especially her Antigone plays, Eloísa o la existencia de la mujer, and the autobiographical novel Delirium and Destiny, which, in addition, are some of her most literary works.
