5.0
Yes!!! I love books about libraries and women!!! Sor Juana Ines was a lover of books and knowledge, and in order to spend more time educating herself, she later became a nun. But not after a counsel of tens of men quizzed her on everything they knew (which she knew, too), and not after almost being denied to go to school, and not after being a lady in waiting and having her own library. This book tells the tale of Sor Juana Ines, who lived in 1600s Mexico, a woman with passions and a hunger for knowledge that couldn't be sated.
The beautifully detailed illustrations go hand in hand with the complexities of Juana's life, and the intricacies her life required in order to satisfy her. And satisfied, she was. Great for girls who love learning, and who want or need role models. Perfect for grades 1-4.
