Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz Poems
by Sayers Peden, Margaret (Translator)
Released: 1985
Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz was a prolific writer of poetry, plays, and intellectual treatises. Her Respuesta a Sor Filotea, the first document in our hemisphere to defend women’s right to study, to teach, and to write, anticipates many contemporary concerns. She is considered to be the finest Latin American Baroque writer, and Carlos Fuentes has called her Latin America’s greatest poet.
