Complot de los fusilesBiography:
In 1812 she was among a group of women who sewed uniforms for the patriot army in Tucumán. Several of these offered to buy weapons and they asked that their names be inscribed on them. Their accompanying note (below) was reproduced in the Gaceta Minist in June 1812. (Mitre, Obras completas, VII, 16-17)
Carranza includes her name in his Patricias argentinas, adding that nothing else is known of her, but he wants her name to survive. (Carranza, 130)
