Austin, July 19 (UP) — A brief bio-
graphy of Sor Juana Ines de la Crus
of Mexico, so-called “first feminist in
America’', was recently written by Dr.
C. E. Castaneda, Latin,Ameriean libra-
rian at the University of Texas here.
■ She was the most noted Mexican
poetess of the Colonial ^period, pos*
sewed a library of 4,000 Volumes and
the most valuable collection of musi-
cal and scientific instruments of her
day.
She was the first woman in America
to "bob'' her hair, Dr, Castaneda be-
lieves. When the viceroy of Mexico
demanded to know why she had cut
her hair, she le said to have replied.
“A head that has nothing within needs
no adornment without.”

literature converted her to a champ-
