Alfonsina Storni's work was controversial to some people in literary circles because of its candid and unapologetic exploration of female sexuality and desire. Storni's poetry often challenged societal norms and expectations for women, and her themes of independence, sensuality, and empowerment were seen as provocative and subversive in a patriarchal society. Additionally, Storni's open discussion of topics such as motherhood, marriage, and gender roles challenged traditional ideas about femininity and womanhood, leading to criticism and controversy in literary circles.
