We discuss the fascinating world of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a figure who transcended the barriers of her era to become a symbol of resistance and enlightenment. 

 

Born in New Spain, now modern-day Mexico, Sor Juana's insatiable thirst for knowledge led her to pursue an education that was uncommon for women of her time. Choosing the life of a nun to freely explore her intellectual and literary talents, Sor Juana penned works that questioned the societal norms and gender roles of the 17th century.
