Historical memory of the path traveled so that Saint Teresa of Jesus was proclaimed a Doctor of the Catholic Church. There were many requests to Rome, but none were answered, because, although she had merits, she was a woman, and Saint Paul had sent: “mulieres in ecclesia taceant”. However, the cloister of the University of Salamanca, in 1922, and unanimously, granted Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada the title of Doctor “honoris causa”. The most solemn festivities of the collation of the doctorate in Salamanca and Alba de Tormes are described. It took almost half a century for Rome (after Vatican II) to declare Saint Teresa Doctor of the Church (1970).
