The right to pursue knowledge and education regardless of social status, gender, or birth circumstances, central to Sor Juana's own struggle and vision of fairness.
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz fought throughout her life for the right to study, write, and think freely despite being a woman in colonial Mexico. Intellectual justice demands that fairness includes access to learning, libraries, and discourse—not just material resources. Her tradition teaches that civilizations withhold knowledge as a tool of oppression, and true fairness requires dismantling barriers to intellectual participation. In modern contexts, this means examining who gets to speak, whose ideas are published, and whose education is funded. Every civilization that claims justice must guarantee that curiosity and learning are not privileges of the elite but rights of all people, enabling them to understand themselves and challenge injustice.
