Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz was a woman with beliefs that were too ahead of her time. In her position, time, and place, she had no way to voice her thoughts other than by writing. Even the writing was frowned upon by others since she was a woman who wasn’t allowed to do what the men did. She had strong thoughts on women having the right to get educated and not only through the convent. All these ideals she hoped for weren’t recognized until many years later. After learning about Sor Juana, I’m surprised that she isn’t more well-known by others as one of the first feminists.
