ABSTRACT: español
Este artículo se ocupa de la actividad desarrollada por la editorial Minerva entre 1943 y 1946. Se puso en marcha por iniciativa de varias mujeres del Opus Dei y de otras, ajenas a la Obra, que desearon implicarse en el proyecto. Su objetivo era promover la lectura de libros clásicos y modernos, presentados de manera atractiva. Aunque solo consiguieron editar tres obras, puede considerarse la primera de las variadas iniciativas apostólicas que, en el campo de la opinión pública, promovieron más adelante otros miembros del Opus Dei con personas que compartían sus mismas inquietudes.
