- Description:
- Micaela Bastidas Puyucahua (Tamburco, 1744 - Cusco, May 18, 1781), was a pioneering indigenous leader against Spanish rule in South America, and a martyr for Peruvian independence. With her husband Túpac Amaru II, she led a rebellion against the Spanish and like him, suffered martyrdom of execution by the Spaniards when the revolt failed.
Bartolina Sisa was an Aymara woman, an indigenous heroine and the wife of Tupac Katari. She took part in the siege of La Paz in 1781.
Once failed the siege, she was captured and executed by the Spanish on September 5, 1782. She was hanged after being publicly humiliated in the Colonial Square, beaten and raped. Once dead, the Spanish cut her body into pieces, showed her head in public to intimidate the natives, and sent her limbs to be exhibited in different villages. In her honour, the 5th of September was instituted as the International Day of the Indigenous Women since 1983. - Buy Now:
