	Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
		Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the "10th Muse," was a nun who dared to write amorous poetry during the time of the Inquisiton in 17th-century Mexico.
		Sor Juana wrote exquisitely beautiful poems to her friend, using the courtly love conventions of the time; in turn, Sor Juana wore a ring given to her by the Countess de la Pareda.
		Sor Juana was a pivotal figure who lived at a unique point in history bound by two opposing world views: one the closed universe of Ptolemy and of the Inquisition, which still held sway in Mexico/New Spain; the other characterized by the new science of Copernicus, Newton, and Galileo.

	Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, a Gift Person essay by Robert Ellsberg

		Juana Inés de la Cruz was born on November 12, 1651, to a Spanish father and a creole mother.

		The film represented Sor Juana to have grown up with her mother and siblings and that at the age of 3 she taught herself to read and write, whereas, in face, she grew up with her family who lived with her grandfather and he was her first teacher.
		Sor Juana was betrayed in the movie, as in real life, by her friend the Bishop of Puebla, which then led the Archbishop to take away her precious books.
		As the film represents, Sor Juana obviously disagreed with the commonly held conceptions of the time: that a woman should not be educated, that a woman is the inferior of the sexes, etc. Thus, the representations of Sor Juana within the movie, based on these accounts, were accurate.

	Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
		Remarkable for her time, Sor Juana discusses the position of women with astonishing frankness, irony, and thinly veiled anger, issues that continue to be of concern today.
		Sor Juana displays an extraordinary sweep of imagination and intelligence, and it is many things: a biography, a critical study, a re-creation of an era, a meditation of Mexican history, a dialogue of poet with poet, a reflection on the role of the intellectual in the modern world.
		Sor Juana is a complex woman, a great reader and thinker that has to be understood in context.

	Lecture on Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
		Juana Inés Ramírez was born in 1648 on the farmstead of San Miguel Nepantla on the slopes of the Popocatépetl volcano, some 60km from the capital of Nueva España (now México).
		This was accompanied by a letter written by the Bishop (under the assumed female name) admonishing her for her preoccupation with worldly affairs and for the lack of biblical subjects in her poetry and study.
		There is no evidence of her actually renouncing her devotion to letters, and all the documents of 1694 to which she supposedly put her name have the tone of mere rhetorical formulae.

	Sor Juana's Villancicos: Context, gender, and genre Western Folklore - Find Articles
		Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, the famous seventeenth-century Mexican nun and writer, successfully constructed and performed her identity as a creole woman in Colonial-era New Spain through her use of the villancico (a type of Spanish lyric, similar to other kinds of European folksongs).
		I will do this through careful examination of Sor Juana's villancico texts, and especially through a thorough reconstruction from available literature of both the situational (performance) context and of the cultural context (particularly in terms of how the form was regarded in her day).
		Sor Juana (as author) could, then, "speak through" (or see animated), the cover (or figure) of "the other," whether these were regional stereotypes of "local yokels" or the unimpeachable figures of Catholic saints.

		Though she had found favor as a young woman at the viceregal court, Sor Juana had been born illegitimate, and never lost sight of the particular dangers that unaffiliated young women faced in her society.
		Juana Inés' choice was not the result of a spiritual crisis or a disappointment in love [as some have argued].
		In the years preceding her death, Sor Juana came under the firm guidance of her confessor, Father Antonio Núñez de Miranda, (a man who scourged himself with such frequency and severity that the walls and door of his room were spattered with his blood).

	Bokser: Sor Juana's Rhetoric of Silence
		Sor Filotea praises Sor Juana’s letter but "asks" her to discontinue her secular studies and her writing, and to behave more appropriately as a nun—in essence, he tells her to silence herself.
		Sor Juana’s rhetorica utens, her use of rhetoric, is the "brief inscription" that we may choose to read as a key to her actions; her rhetorica docens, or study of rhetoric, is found in her prescription of why and when such brief inscriptions are needed (see Burke 36).
		Sor Juana’s entry in the history of rhetoric is important because it adds the perspective of a woman and feminist from our past, and because her work provides an early precedent for the kind of revision of European, classical rhetoric in which scholars have engaged over the past twenty years.
