Abstract
Jewish Sephardic communities maintained their distinctive cultural identity for centuries after the expulsion from the Iberian Peninsula. Traditions were passed on by women as mothers and cultural keepers. In Vida propia (2000) by Vicky Nizri, Esther Negrín narrates the story of her life, exposing how the traditions pertaining to women’s roles as imposed in their bodies delineated the individual she became, negating her the possibility of an independent development as individual.
