Catalina de Erauso (–1650)
Autore di Historia de la monja alférez escrita por ella misma
Sull'Autore
(eng) Probably the reason her gender is contested, is because for much of her life Catalina de Erauso dressed as a man and lived as a man. But biologically specking she was a woman, who, because of the restricted role of women in the sixteenth century, decided to live as a cross-dresser. In her foreword to 'Lieutenant Nun, transvestite in the new world', Marjorie Garber writes: 'As she tells it, hers is the story of a loner who enjoys camaraderie with men, an adventurer who spends most of her peripatetic career in the New World, yet whose proudest claim to identity is not as a man or a woman but rather as a Spaniard.''
