Sor Juana’s Bold Mind

Join Ben & Pia on a MEGA exciting journey to New Spain to meet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a nun whose love of books changed history! This episode tells the AMAZING, gentle story of a curious girl who turned a tiny convent room into a world of poems, plays, science notes, and brave letters. Perfect for young explorers who love wonder, puzzles, and wordplay! Historical Fun Fact: Sor Juana taught herself Latin and memorized whole pages after one careful reading. Printers in Spain later published a thick collection of her works that sailed across the ocean! Did you know? What would you do if someone told you not to study something you loved? How would you answer like Sor Juana did in her famous Letter to Sor Filotea? Ben & Pia guide you through kitchens that became labs, courtrooms that became stages, and a tiny cell that became a library.
