Let’s Begin…
Juana Ramírez de Asbaje sat before a panel of prestigious theologians, jurists, and mathematicians. They had been invited to test Juana’s knowledge with the most difficult questions they could muster. But she successfully answered every challenge, from complicated equations to philosophical queries. Who was this impressive woman? Theresa Yugar details the life of the Mexican poet and scholar.
In her times, Sor Juana was an avid advocate for women’s right to be educated. Can you think of another figure who also shares Sor Juana’s same passion for women’s right to education, in our modern day time? How has the struggle for women’s rights to education changed over the centuries?
