In the seventeenth century, Catalina de Erauso, at age sixteen a
renegade Basque nun, escaped from her convent and traveled to the
New World, eventually reaching Peru. She became an outlaw and a
crossdresser with a price on her head. Yet she ended her days
absolved by both the King of Spain and the Pope, the latter of whom
granted her permission to dress as a man for the remainder of her
life. The Nun Ensign passed her final years guarding silver
shipments on the Mexico City-Veracruz highway. The life of the Nun
Ensign highlights not just her extraordinary life but also the
opportunities seized by women in colonial Latin America. This book
profiles the Nun Ensign and nine other women of colonial Latin
America, offering an alternate method for understanding the region
and its history. The ten figures span different ethnic, geographic,
occupational, and class backgrounds. Through their stories, the
reader comes away with an enriched understanding of colonial Latin
American history.
