Women exiled independence causeBiography:
From Cali, Colombia, she was sent to Popayán in December 1816 where she, and several other women were held in the Convento del Carmen. The royalist nuns treated them like "mujeres despreciables y de mala vida" for their support of the independence cause. (Monsalve, 259)
