"This book gives us the perspective of Sor Juana Ines de La Cruz de Asbaje y Ramírez de Santillana who lived in the 17th century in Nueva Espana/New Spain (Now Mexico) in which this book would present her writings such as Hombres Necios in which it criticized the patriarchal colonial society and the subservient role of women especially Criollas (White Spanish) and La Respuesta a Sor Filotea calling the education of women and her poem El Sueno.
I liked it, but my friend Melo has the book in which the forbidden works of Sor Juana along with popular works these forbidden works caused a lot of controversy back in colonial times in which challenged the power of the Catholic Church who had a stranglehold on Mexican society with it's Holy office of the Inquisition which imprisoned and tortured many people who were suspected heretics, and women."
"She is such a revolutionary figure, an exemplary example of a woman voicing her thoughts and opinions at all times. Situated in the seventeenth century Mexico, Sor Juana wrote many stories, plays, poems, apologies supporting the pure words of Christ and attacking the cruel, oppressive powers of the conquering Spaniards. I recommend her highly!"
"This is a very special book. Sor Juana was a seventeenth-century nun who wrote poetry and prose, and her secular love poems are sublime, and her philosophical writings exquisite."
