Sumario: This project is a study of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz as an icon who represents women’s intellectual liberty through juvenile literature. The subject of several books written for children and of pedagogical websites, Sor Juana’s powerful image is rewritten in anecdotal form to capture the attention and admiration of a young audience. Sor Juana’s appearance in juvenile literature reflects her mythical status in Latin American culture and serves to build female cultural identity through education.
