Despite the constraints of colonial powers, Juana Ines de la Cruz collected the largest library in Mexico, wrote poetry and plays known across the Western Hemisphere, and, in the end, was brought down by the Spanish Inquisition. Discover the courageous woman determined to share her God-given talents with the world.
