Alfonsina Storni's work was controversial to some people in literary circles because she openly addressed themes such as women's sexuality, independence, and gender roles in a society that was still deeply conservative and patriarchal. Storni's poems and essays challenged traditional notions of femininity and domesticity, and she often wrote about her own experiences of motherhood, love, and desire in a way that was seen as unconventional and provocative at the time. Additionally, Storni's use of language and form was innovative and experimental, further alienating some traditionalists in the literary world.
