EguinoBiography:
From La Paz, Bolivia, on 16 November 1816, she was sentenced to the shame of being publicly reprimanded for disloyalty to the king. (Gaceta de Caracas, 14/5/1817, p.1022)
She was friends with Vicenta Eguino and they worked together for some time. She was as beautiful as she was resourceful, with "espiritu varonil y corazón magnánimo". She was of wealthy, respectable lineage. She was imprisoned and fined 4,000 pesos. (Urquidi, 181)
