Resumen:
This chapter will focus on women cronistas in Colonial Latin American Chronicles. I will look at legal and historical discourses which provide structure, topics, and description patterns that are deployed in letters, petitions, and probanzas, in the narrative of Isabel de Guevara, the ?Información from doña Isabel Moctezuma or the Proceso against María de Bárcena, among many others. The main hypothesis is that women cronistas resorted to three different types of rhetorics: the rhetoric of silence, the neglect and claim rhetoric and the rhetoric of deviation, all of which constitute a poetics of the presence-absence, which characterizes these chronicles
