Abstract

TOSCANO, Ana María da Costa. The (rer)writing of Encarnación Ezcurra in the Argentinean fiction and history of the last decades. Ex aequo [online]. 2008, n.17, pp.107-118. ISSN 0874-5560.

The fights for independence in the beginning of the 19th century in Latin America led to a new type of woman who disrupted the established status quo. Encarnación Ezcurra was born in one of the most important families of the colonial society in Rio de la Plata. Her image was influential for her epoch and contributed for the empowerment of her husband, D. Juan Manuel de Rosas, who became the first Argentinean dictator.
