From the information gathered in the chronicles of the Order, some letters written by Saint Theresa and writings of Maria de San José Salazar, it is our aim to show how Maria de San José, prioress of the first Portuguese female Carmelite association at the Convent of Saint Albert in Lisbon, had a crucial role in the development of this convent. Some documents state the major problems felt by the female mendicant order in Portugal, between the 16th and 17th centuries.
