Reading Sor Juana's 'Respuesta' blew my mind. She's intelligent, knows how to manipulate language and how to structure an argument. Despite this, I felt so much rage at how she was treated by her contemporaries.

Am considering buying a copy so that I can have it in my book collection to re-read at a later date.
