Don Ricardo Salinas Pliego said that, for Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, living in a convent had not been a confinement, but a way to guarantee her freedom to study, write, and gather a personal library of more than 4,000 books. In a publication of "Thursday's CollectionsRSP," he presented the first edition of *Fame and Posthumous Works of the Phoenix of Mexico...*, printed in Madrid in 1700, five years after the writer's death. According to Salinas Pliego, the work compiled the thoughts of one of the most prominent figures of the colonial period. He also stated that Sor Juana, self-taught and of exceptional intellect, defended women as bearers of reason and knowledge through her poetry. He invited people to consult the work and the library's collection on its new microsite. https://t.co/BnOwsroYC3 #SorJuanaInésDeLaCruz #Literatura #Biblioteca (translated)
