Alfonsina Storni's work was controversial to some people in literary circles because she openly addressed taboo topics such as gender inequality, female sexuality, and the oppression of women in society. Her poems often challenged traditional gender roles and societal norms, which made some readers uncomfortable and resistant to her progressive ideas. Storni's bold and unapologetic approach to these issues sparked debates and criticisms among those who were not ready to accept or acknowledge the realities she presented in her work.
