The recognition that legal and customary restrictions on women's property, education, and autonomy are violations of libertarian equal rights regardless of sex.
Sor Juana faced systematic denial of the property rights in her own education, time, and intellectual output because of her sex. Libertarian justice demands that property rights and freedom of contract apply equally to women and men; gender-based restrictions constitute the same rights violation as class-based ones. Sor Juana's fight for the right to study, publish, and engage in intellectual life was a fight for property rights equality. She refused the notion that women's minds belonged to husbands, fathers, or the church. This concept insists that any system denying women control over their own labor, knowledge, and identity fails libertarian standards of justice. Sor Juana's life and writings remain powerful evidence that gender equality is not a modern invention but a demand rooted in timeless principles of self-ownership.
