Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz ( 1651-1695): the Phoenix of Mexico

There is SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION at the main site entry - 28 footnotes worth! Before you start going off about “why doesn’t she have a movie” (she does), or “this detail isn’t right!” please go there and read up.

Art notes and shout-outs behind the cut.

(and here’s a shortcut if you want to pre-order the book!)

Keep reading

ALSO SHE WAS A LESBIAN

Possibly.  

The tl;dr version, which I mentioned in the footnotes: “She might have been a lesbian, there’s not enough evidence.”

Longer version behind the cut. 

Keep reading

i can’t read what she wrote in blood?

It reads:

Juana Ines de La Cruz
The Worst of All

(which is how she actually signed things, albeit in Spanish. that’s even a copy of her real signature.)
