She has been--erroneously--portrayed as a courtesan who seduced Simon Bolivar, Alexander von Humboldt, and Agustin de Iturbide; a major independence heroine; and a feminist who defied the conventions of her day. This book reconstructs her true life story and then shows when and why false facts and apocryphal stories appeared to create her legendary figure. It thus illuminates both the neglected social history of her day and the degree to which historical memory reflects ever-changing worldviews and concerns"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rodriguez de Velasco y Osorio, Maria Ignacia, $d 1778-1851. 650 0 $a Women $z Mexico City $z Mexico City $y 19th century $v Biography. 651 0 $a Mexico $x History $y Wars of Independence, 1810-1821. 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a Mexico $z Mexico City. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206137 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Arrom, Silvia Marina, 1949- $t La GuÂera Rodriguez $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2021] $z 9780520383432 $w (DLC) 2020056079 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4174342C0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
