Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz

Where she born

. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, original name Juana Ramírez
de Asbaje, (born November 12, 1651?, San Miguel
Nepantla, Viceroyalty of New Spain [now in Mexico]—
died April 17, 1695, Mexico City), poet, dramatist,
scholar, and nun, an outstanding writer of the Latin
American colonial period and of the Hispanic
Baroque.
Where she lived
In 1667, owing to her desire "to have no fixed occupation
which might curtail my freedom to study," Sor Juana
began her life as a nun. She moved in 1669 to the
Convent of San Geronimo (St. Jerome) in Mexico City,
where she remained cloistered for the rest of her life.
Juana had plenty of time to study and write in the
convent, and she amassed a large library. She also
gained the patronage of the viceroy and vicereine of
New Spain, and they supported her and had her works
published in Spain.
What she bring
Sor Juana stands as a national icon of Mexican identity, and
her image appears on Mexican currency. She came to new
prominence in the late 20th century with the rise of
feminism and women's writing, officially becoming
credited as the first published feminist of the New World.
Sor Juana's enduring importance and literary success are
partly attributable to her mastery of the full range of poetic
forms and themes of the Spanish Golden Age, and her
writings display inventiveness, wit and a wide range of
knowledge. Unlimited by genre, she also wrote
dramatic, comedic and scholarly works—especially
unusual for a nun.
Where she died
Juana Ines de la Cruz died on April 17, 1695 at the age of
46 while trying to tend to her fellow nuns who were
suffering from the plague. This controversial and
skilled writer, sometimes called the tenth muse, had
spent the last few years primarily ministering to the
poor, with her library and access to those tools and
sources she used for writing at least partially denied to
her. Upon her death, she was eulogized by the also
famous intellectual Don Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora
at her funeral.
Conclusion
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was an important person in
the history of Mexico and contributed to the struggle
for feminism, for equality between men and women.
