	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.

	“Respuesta a Sor Filotea”-1691
		General context: As many of you may already know, the “Reply to Sor Filotea” was written on March 1691 as a response to a critique of the Bishop of Puebla included along with the publication of Sor Juana’s “Carta Atenagórica” (or “Letter Worthy of Athena”) (1690).
		As a result, Sor Juana portrays in her “Respuesta...” a subjectivity that is simultaneously a subaltern and in some cases a privileged voice due to her condition as a nun who was openly protected by two viceroys and their wives and probably by the Bishop of Puebla.
		Sor Juana includes in her works some consideration of the fact that she was born in the New Spain, and she seems to be aware of how her condition as a “cultural mestiza” and as a Creole woman made her a marginal subjectivity within the hegemonic sectors of her time.

		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).
		She was the 'illegitimate' daughter of a criolla mother (Doña Isabel Ramírez de Santillana) and a Biscayan father (Pedro Manuel de Asbaje), and her four sisters and a brother (some of them by a different father) were also illegitimate.
		She no doubt had to defend herself from the amorous advances of the married men of the court, yet even had she desired to marry (she later declared that she rejected the very idea), there was little chance for her within that society, being illegitimate and from a poor family.
