This is Juana Inés de la Cruz. Born in 1651. Mexican poetess and playwright. Since childhood she was very curious, what led her to become a nun “to have the right” to study in a period women couldn’t do so. Her poems and plays are known for talking about women’s rights and present strong and clever female characters.
*In this painting she is 15. One year before get into the Convent.
I want a Nu-Who where the psychic paper doesn’t work on her, but instead of the just-because “it doesn’t work on geniuses” bit they did with Shakespeare, she gives a point-by-point explanation of why the Doctor and his companion(s) can’t possibly be emissaries from the Spanish court.
