After introducing briefly a biography of this historical personage and the long theological dispute about the importance of the Virgin Mary in the Christian thought; we concluded that although the traditional thinking of this Dominican friar, maintained the classic ideology of gender roles so typical of the Catholic Church, the extreme importance that Santa María y Ulloa gave to the image of Mary was a small step that allowed that women had a greater significance in the catholic religion.Recurso electrónicoapplication/pdfenghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/reviewDevotionOrder of preachersPopular religiosityRosarioWomaninfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessAtribución-NoComercial 4.0 InternacionalUniversidad Tecnológica de BolívarRepositorio UTB57196040759
