A library for Juana: the world of Sor Juana Inés

When Juana Inés was born in Mexico in 1648, she fell in love with her grandfather's books. Juana followed her sister to school and peeked in the window, then begged the teacher to be allowed to stay so she could learn how to read. Eventually, Juana went on to become Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a nun, and she devoted her life to writing and learning and words. Sor Juana Inés is still considered one of the most brilliant writers in Mexico's history.
