With the death of King William in 1702, Anne becomes Queen. England is at war and in a Grand Alliance with the Protestant nations against the Catholic Spanish and French sovereigns to prevent ‘The Pretender’ King Louis’ dominance in Europe. The little information we have about her early years comes from her famous defence of women's right to learning, in which she talks of her 'inclination' towards letters 'from the first light of reason', illustrating this with evocative anecdotes: She stopped eating cheese for its damaging effects on the brain, and would cut her hair as a useless adornment when she failed in her learningWar of the words". The Independent. 23 October 2011. Archived from the original on 1 October 2017 . Retrieved 21 December 2020. May of the cast members and creatives were the same for the performances at the Swan Theatre, but there were some differences: Her original play The Clearing was first staged at the Bush Theatre in 1993, winning the John Whiting and Time Out Awards, Mother Teresa is Dead was premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2002 and The Heresy of Love was premiered by the Royal Shakespeare Company in the Swan Theatre in 2012. Soon after, she gave up her extensive library and renounced her earthly ways. She retook her vows, signing her protestation of faith in blood. And she prepared, and again signed in blood, her death certificate, asking her sisters to fill in the date of the death of 'the worst woman that has ever been, I, the worst in the world'. Shaken by what she saw as an act of betrayal, Sor Juana waited three months before she delivered her 'Response of the Poetess to the Most Illustrious Sor Filotea', a virtuoso defence of the right of woman to an intellectual life, deftly matching the autobiographical with a dazzling account of female learning and a defiant decoding of men's (and the Church's) attitudes towards women of letters.
