This is a brief tour through the life of an early 17th century Basque woman (or possibly trans man--though it’s tricky to use any sort of modern category label) who escaped from a convent at age 15, began living as a man, and went off to the Spanish colonies in the New World to seek fortune and adventure. She found plenty of adventure.
In this episode we talk about- The basic facts of Catalina’s life Why it’s difficult to try to apply modern categories of gender and sexuality to historic individuals The literary and pop culture context of early 17th century Spain that may have shaped how Catalina’s story was told--and even perhaps inspired her actions Catalina’s romantic and erotic encounters with women, and why they’re a bit less satisfying to a modern audience than we might wish Some exciting new changes to the Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast
