| Summary | "La Nonne Alferez" by Catalina de Erauso is a historical narrative likely written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the true adventures of Doña Catalina de Erauso, a woman who disguised herself as a man and lived a life filled with remarkable exploits, including combat and exploration in the Americas. Her story is one of defiance against gender norms, and her character embodies the spirit of adventure and resilience. At the start of the narrative, Catalina de Erauso introduces herself, detailing her upbringing in a convent and her subsequent escape at the age of fifteen after a conflict with a fellow nun. After fleeing, she adopts a male identity, taking the name Francisco Loyola, and embarks on a journey filled with varied experiences including working as a page, engaging in military service, and navigating a series of encounters that emphasize her turbulent life. The opening chapters establish her transformation from convent life to becoming a soldier, highlighting her struggles and determination as she navigates a patriarchal society while striving for autonomy and adventure.
