Analysis on Sor Juana

These past couples days we have been learning about Sor Juana I've obtained a greater insight on her background and who/what her writings were towards. However the writing that Sor Juana did towards Sor Filotea was slightly confusing but the lectures of prior times helped. I've come to understand that Sor Juana was one of the individuals during the 17th century of colonial Mexico who attempted to make a difference in the societal norms and who helped in moving women in Mexico during that era away from the domestic sphere of influence. Sor Juana herself I find relates to the class because her hair represents her inhibitor to advance within society. Because she is a woman who has long hair that inhibited her from being able to learn but she surpassed that by cutting off her hair that symbolism of her womanhood and escape from the domestic sphere and able to pursue learning.
