«El discurso inaugural de la papisa americana» is the novel by Esther Vilar, published in 1982 in hardback (143 pages, in Spanish).
The novel imagines a future where popes are elected by vote and the Catholic Church distributes its wealth among the poor. Esther Vilar asks whether society would accept a Vatican without pomp, a religion without dogmas or mysteries, and ecclesiastical dignitaries with the obligations of any citizen.
The edition belongs to the Cinco Estrellas collection. The original German title is «Die Antrittsrede der amerikanischen Päpstin».
Esther Margareta Vilar is an Argentine-German writer. She trained and practised as a medical doctor before establishing herself as an author. She is best known for her 1971 book The Manipulated Man and its various follow-ups, which argue that, contrary to common feminist and women's rights rhetoric, women in industrialized cultures are not oppressed, but rather exploit a well-established system of manipulating men.
