For glory and Bolívar

"She was a friend, lover, and confidante of charismatic Spanish American independence hero Simón Bolívar and, after her death, a nationalist icon in her own right. Yet authors generally have chosen either to romanticize Manuela Sáenz or to discount her altogether. ... [author], for the first time, closely examines Sáenz's political trajectory including her vital, often-overlooked years in exhile. [author] exposes the myths that still surround her and offers, in short, a nuanced and much-needed historical perspective, one that balances recognition of Sáenz's uniqueness with awareness of the broader forces that shaped this dynamic nineteenth-century woman"--Book jacket.
