This is a study of the interaction between biographical experience and literary performance. A superb critical reading of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, showing the Mexican writer as a champion of women's intellectual rights and thus a feminist avant la lettre. “Un magistral estudio relativo a la sensibilidad de Sor Juana.”—M. Hernández Sánchez Barba, Universidad Complutense, Madrid. “Highly readable, well-researched, and persuasive.”—Bart L. Lewis, Hispania.
