A Woman of Genius: The Intellectual Autobiography of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

This book, published in an English/Spanish bilingual format, reproduces the complete text of what has become one of the classic works of Spanish American literature. Well known as a poet during her lifetime, the nun's bold confrontation with high church authority, followed shortly by her death during an epidemic while tending to her sister nuns, has made her one of the folk heroes of Latin America.
