This paper focuses on the fantastic and horror tales by Raimunda Torres y Quiroga. She was an Argentine writer who, under several pseudonyms, published her work in nineteenth century newspapers and literary magazines. Her tales of the fantastic are a defence of women’s rights against male violence. These tales often depict after death acts of revenge. Until now, she was completely unknown by literary critics.
