It foregrounds this major writer's own position, and expressed awareness, with regard to gender and how these configure her lines of access to, exclusion from, and perhaps especially redefinitions of power.' Amanda Powell, Department of Romance Languages, University of Oregon; coauthor of The Answer/La Respuesta: Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz and A Wild Country Out in the Garden: The Spiritual Journals of a Colonial Mexican Nun. 'This is an excellent study of woefully neglected writings, and does justice to both the verses and the extraordinary woman who wrote them. ... highly recommended as an important addition to the growing body of scholarship concerning Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'Thomas's book is a welcome, thought-provoking, and well-researched addition to Sor Juana studies, and it provides an unprecedented interpretation of Sor Juana's occasional writings that helps readers better understand her complete works and those of other early-modern women writers.
