One person found this helpful. It was hilarious and has been a good conversation starter with my fellow academics! I liked the introduction and the translation quality, however, the story was too short. This is a thoroughly captivating autobiography by a seventeenth-century Spanish woman who lived most of her life as a man. Catalina de Erauso was placed by her family in a convent at age four and escaped on an impulse at age fifteen.
She cut her hair and made her undergarments into boy's clothes. All this without a plan. But once Catalina tasted masculine freedom, there was no going back. She must have been exceptionally bright. Despite her total lack of life experience, she functioned successfully as a page at court, a ship's boy, a merchant's assistant and a soldier promoted to Lieutenant for her valor in Chile.
Lieutenant Nun
She survived a shipwreck, attacks by bandits, bloody battles and numerous duels and street fights. Catalina was hotheaded and quick with her sword.
