Recognition that multiple identity categories compound injustice in property deprivation, requiring libertarian frameworks to address layered exclusions.
Sor Juana faced dispossession on multiple grounds: as a woman, as a person of mixed racial heritage, as an intellectual challenging clerical monopoly on interpretation. Her case illuminates how libertarian justice cannot treat property rights in isolation but must recognize how gender, race, and institutional status intersect to deny ownership claims. A libertarian framework addressing only economic property while ignoring intellectual property theft from women, or ignoring how racialized persons are excluded from property ownership itself, remains incomplete. Sor Juana's life demonstrates that justice requires defending property rights across all these dimensions simultaneously. When examining who owns what, libertarian theory must ask: whose property claims are recognized and whose are dismissed? Whose identity disqualifies them from ownership?
