Out of curiosity, how do you see that? I don't believe that Avellaneda suffered the societal scorn and rejection of Sab in its entirety, although her lifestyle and the fact that she was a writer brought her not a little grief, and certainly in her rejection in being accepted as a member of the Real Academia, especially since, as one member noted, she was "more qualified than most in being on that revered committee."
