Lieutenant Nun: Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World - Catalina De Erauso

Condition : Good.
Beacon Press, 1995, Medium-format Paperback - Memoirs - 80p. ISBN 9780807070734.
One of the earliest known autobiographies by a woman, this is the extraordinary tale of Catalina de Erauso, who in 1599 escaped from a Basque convent dressed as a man and went on to live one of the most wildly fantastic lives of any woman in history.
A soldier in the Spanish army, she traveled to Peru and Chile, became a gambler, and even mistakenly killed her own brother in a duel. During her lifetime she emerged as the adored folkloric hero of the Spanish-speaking world. This delightful translation of Catalina's own work introduces a new audience to her audacious escapades.
