Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) was a Mexican nun and a renowned poet who became a child prodigy. Self-taught through her passion for reading, she bravely advocated for women's rights to education at a time when schooling was exclusive to men. Her influential works challenged societal norms, including a controversial essay that argued the shared guilt of sin in prostitution between men and women. As a significant figure in literature and women's rights, Juana's legacy continues to inspire.
