Does anyone in our vast learning community ( sometimes fightning community) knows how to translate the name Sor and who Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz might be?What is her claim to fame if any? I heard she was a tennis player in the early 1940shees.

Gus:
"Sor" means (religious) sister or nun.
You must enter this woman's full name into a "Google" search. Be sure to enclose her name in quotation marks, like this:
"Sor Juana Inéz de la Cruz".
There is a treasure trove of information availabe on the internet about her. It looks as though we would all have been enchanted by her intelligence in the time and places she lived in.
I don't think she played tennis in the 40's.
Recuerdos,
