Considered a national heroine and a revolutionary icon, she is remembered in history for her unwavering support for women’s rights, distribution of leaflets, and information gathering to fuel the revolution.
Another famous personality to grace this name was the Peruvian author, poet, composer, and pianist Manuela Antonia Márquez Garca-Saavedra, regarded as one of the most well-known poets of the 19th century. She belonged to a family of prominent artistic talents and was the sister of Peru’s first two renowned novelists, Luis and Arnaldo Márquez.
