Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Literary Prize

The Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Literary Prize is a recognition of the literary work of women in the Hispanic world instituted in 1993, which rewards the author of a novel originally published in Spanish. This prize is endowed with ten thousand dollars in cash for the winning author.

The Sor Juana Prize was conceived and baptized by the Nicaraguan writer Milagros Palma. It was designed to be delivered at the end of the IV International Symposium on Literary Criticism and Writing by Women of Latin America, which was held within the framework of the Guadalajara Film Festival, in 1993. After that first presentation, the prize was integrated into the activities of the Fair and has been awarded every year, with the exception of 2000, when it was not awarded.
