Conquistadoras: Mujeres heroicas de la conquista de América (Spanish Edition)

ENGLISH: Although not recognized by historians, the Conquest of America was a deed not only carried out by men but also by women of different ethnic backgrounds: Spanish, Indians, and Blacks. These admirable women broke away from their traditional roles and joined the men side by side in leadership positions as well as on the battlefield. This book takes pride in honoring them hoping that they will be afforded the esteemed place in history they so justly deserve. Included are the biographies of six of these women and information about many others worthy also of recognition. SPANISH: En esta singular obra se resaltan las vidas y hazañas de varias mujeres--españolas, indias, negras--que junto al hombre cambiaron el rumbo de la historia de América y que hasta ahora habían permanecido sepultadas en las catacumbas del olvido. Fueron abnegadas madres y fieles esposas, pero cuando el deber les tocó a la puerta con inusitado arrojo y fiera resolución dieron paso adelante ganando honra y gloria. Se incluyen las biografías de seis de estas insignes mujeres así como datos valiosos sobre otras muchas que se destacaron durante la misma época.
