Sor Juana followed a ""baroque literary"" style. Could you explain the main characteristics of this artistic style? Why was Sor Juana also an original writer for Latin-American literature?

Answer:

First feminist

Step-by-step explanation:

As Baroque style is considered to be direct and dramatic we can assume that Sor Juana´s Baroque literary style - written in the heydays of the Spanish golden age (17th century) - is a lirical style combined with inventiveness and a wide range of knowledge.

She was a truly original writer in the sense of, while being a nun, writing about secular themes, for example in defending women´s rights three centuries ago. In the 20th century she became known as one of the first published feminist of the new world. ¨One can perfectly well philosophize while cooking supper¨
