Biographical details

From Zipaquirá, Colombia, she was a compañera and assistant to the "precursor" Pedro Fermín de Vargas in the late colonial period. (Díaz y Díaz, 181)

She was imprisoned in 1797 for her support of Antonio Nariño. She later directed a nursery school. (Monsalve, 88)

In August 1816 she was exiled by Morillo to Suesca. She is described by the royalists as aspiring to keep a open public school at her house, at which she taught "bellos modales" to her compatriots. (Monsalve, 157)

She was probably held in the Cárcel Chiquito before being exiled. (Monsalve, 159)
