 Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
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.
She was ordered by the bishop of Puebla to refrain from intellectual pursuits, and because of that, she wrote her Respuesta a Sor Filotea; a defense of women's right to knowledge in 1691.
However, her insatiable desire to understand everything around her, coupled with her studies in classical and medieval philosophy and her fierce assertion of a woman's right to fully participate in scholastic inquiry mark her as a philosopher as well.

Wilson, starting because first baseman Sean Casey sat out the last two nights with a bruised rib cage, followed Jason Bay's leadoff walk and stolen base in the seventh with an opposite-field drive into the right-field seats off Hong-Chih Kuo (0-1) to make it 7-5.
Wilson led the Pirates with 29 homers in 2004, but missed two long stretches of last season with hand injuries and finished with five homers in 197 at-bats.

 Robert Anton Wilson | Santa Cruz Metro Article
Maybe that's because Wilson can't helping throwing his audiences so many curve balls, mixing esoteric facts with wild flights of imagination -- and rarely revealing which is which.
Wilson and co-conspirator Robert Shea did borrow a few ideas from letters to the editor they received at Playboy, but most of the influence on their collaboration came from the broader gestalt of an era that was obsessed with esoteric arcana and increasingly paranoid about all manner of conspiracies.
Wilson has also inspired at least two religions, or send-ups thereof: Discordianism took root in the immediate wake of the trilogy, while the Church of the Subgenius enshrined Wilson -- in the form of pipe-clenching icon Bob Dobbs -- as its figurehead some two decades later.
