I was thinking, if was alive and writing today, she's be spitting those sick rhymes on the mic.

Looked it up, and I'm happy someone else already had that idea:

Redondillas (4-line, 8 syllable, ABAB rhyme structure) really are rappable.

is a quite remarkable series, and it really made me want to learn more about and read her works more.

It appears that historians have disliked how it strays from the historical record and speculated where that record is spotty, but I think it's okay to do so.

So exchanged portraits with the vicereine Doña María Luisa.

That's like swiping right, isn't it?

We're really enjoying . It's speculating a lot where the historical record is spotty but it seems to be sticking close to fact whenever we do have documents about 's life.

Anyone got a favourite English of her ? I'm looking for a good translation of "Hombre necios..."

It is ! The book that Wikipedia cites just has one line: "She [Sor Juana] was also a student of scientific thought and experiment, and corresponded with English scientist Isaac Newton."

And in its sources, it lists Wikipedia!

Whatever, in my headcanon was a physicist of calibre.

This is really nagging me now. Did really meet or have correspondence with ? Where did the English Wikipedia get this idea?

I need to track down this book and figure it all out, because it's what English Wikipedia is citing and it all just seems so weird:

I just watched the first episode of and then I read on English Wikipedia that actually had correspondence with .

Whaaaaaat? Why is there no mention of this in the Spanish Wikipedia? That sounds like a big deal! Where are these letters between Newton and Sor Juana?

Let's see if the internet can find them...
