About this book
In an era when societal norms strictly defined gender roles, "La Nonne Alferez" by Catalina de Erauso boldly challenges these conventions through the extraordinary life of Doña Catalina. This historical narrative chronicles her daring adventures as she disguises herself as a man, navigating the complexities of identity while engaging in combat and exploration. Erauso's tale is not just a story of personal defiance; it also highlights the themes of autonomy and self-determination, resonating with the spirit of unalienable rights. Ideal for students and historians alike, this compelling document offers a unique perspective on gender and societal expectations, inviting readers to reflect on the boundaries of identity and freedom.
