\nI am very much looking forward to seeing everyone at my house on Saturday, January 28 to discuss the work of 17th century Mexican writer Sor Juana In\u00e9s de la Cruz (New Spain, 1648-1692).<\/strong>\u00a0 She is the major figure of Spanish American literature of the colonial period (1492-1821) and a towering figure of the Spanish language of any age.\u00a0 Did I mention she also happened to be a woman? \u00a0<\/em>My hope is that everyone walks away with a general sense of who Sor Juana was, what her writing was like, and why she may still be relevant today. I hope you enjoy the readings! \u00a0 \u00a0 Nina<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
