Los homenajes a Paz -a diez años de su muerte- me han hecho, ahora, recordar la lectura de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz o las trampas de la fe. Leí el libro, regalo de Martha Ordaz, en 1997. Martha, siempre atenta, me invitó a desayunar al Samborns de los Azulejos y acabado el desayuno me dijo: Quiero regalarte un libro, escoge. Ví el de Paz, que tenía ganas de leer y me lo dio. Fue un regalo oportunísimo. Tenía en esa época ganas y necesidad de una lectura así.

Read in January, 1998
(written in 1998 in response to Sor Juana).

How would it be to have such an intense desire to learn and understand, knowing what good it can bring humanity and religion, and at the same time, feeling guilty for picking up a book to engage it? Doing that for an entire lifetime, no wonder she died with a guilty conscience and a belief that she was the "worst in the world". I'd like to say what a waste--but then I again I tend to believe that if learning wasn't forbidden than she migh...more

I can't shower enough praise on this book, which fed my appetite for knowing more about her. I had been enchanted by her since college. Since then I have read more and more, as well as all of Sor Juana's works, and never get enough. If you want to see what is was like to know that women deserved full equality, to have the intelligence beyond comparison and be forced to use that intelligence with the utmost care so as not to violate strict social norms, and get away with it for years, sor juana...more
