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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catalina De Erauso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807024139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807024133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Catalina De Erauso","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113978736895,"sku":"9780807024133","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7cafaca5-11e1-4992-8ffd-5cfab6baf94b.jpg?v=1769618338","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lieutenant-nun-catalina-de-erauso-9780807024133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
