Day 8: Manuela Saenz. She was an important figure in South America's fight for independence and Simon Bolivar's lover. She was known as the "Libertadora del libertador" (the liberator's liberator) after saving Bolivar from an assassination attempt. Manuela confronted the men trying to kill Bolviar, while he fled through a window. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #watercolor #watercolorpainting #sakurawatercolors #koiwatercolor @sakuraofamerica @sakuracolorproducts #shecember #shecember2018 #shecemberday8 #day8 #monthlychallenge #manuelasaenz #shero #latinamericanwomen #hero #chasethebunny #theivorybunny #progressnotperfection #finishednotperfect (at Springfield, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrLnLcfhAGC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l6jt67miyrj

Shecember day 6 goes to Juana Azurduy. She was the heroine of the independence of Upper Peru (present day Bolivia). After her husband's death, she took control of the troops and achieved significant military victories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #watercolor #watercolorpainting #sakurawatercolors #koiwatercolor @sakuraofamerica @sakuracolorproducts #shecember #shecember2018 #shecemberday6 #day6 #monthlychallenge #bolivia #lolarodriguezdetio #juanaazurduy #shero #latinamericanwomen #hero #chasethebunny #theivorybunny #progressnotperfection #finishednotperfect (at Springfield, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrGWMshjguz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=niq9tst11kvy

Day 3: Sor (Sister) Juana Ines de la Cruz⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She was born in New Spain, what used to be Mexico under the Spanish Empire, in 1648. By age 3, Sor Juana learned to read and write. Unfortunately for her, this passion for literature would stay with her for the rest of her life. I say unfortunately because at the time Mexico was heavily controlled by the Catholic Church, which frowned upon women being versed and independent. The church continued to frown and frown on poor Sor Juana, until 1694 when she willingly, and publicly, renounced her thirst for knowledge and sold away her thousands of books. It is believed that Sor Juana chose to repent because she considered it a better alternative than being censored by the church. Although the church won that battle, our favorite bookworm won the war. Today she is celebrated as the first great poet of Latin America. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #watercolor #shecember #shecember2018 #latinamericanwomen #sorjuanainesdelacruz #31daychallenge #monthlychallenge #monthlychallenges #portrait #latinhistoryformorons #latinamericanwomen #sakurawatercolor #koiwatercolors @sakuracolorproducts @sakuraofamerica #day3 #sketchbook #sketch #sketchdaily #dailysketches #theivorybunny #mexican #chasethebunny #progressnotperfection #finishednotperfect (at Springfield, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq74XvUBDGl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=125angb8gz748

It is time for Shecember! We are kicking off these 31 days of Latin American heroines with Julia de Burgos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She was a renowned Puerto Rican writer and poet and a feminist at heart. Her poems, “Yo Misma Fui Mi Ruta (“I Was My Own Path”) and “A Julia de Burgos” symbolized messages of individual and nationalistic freedom. As the oldest of thirteen children, Burgos pursued her education at The University of Puerto Rico and would go on to become one of the most influential Caribbean civil rights activists. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #watercolor #shecember #shecember2018 #juliadeburgos #31daychallenge #monthlychallenge #monthlychallenges #portrait #latinhistoryformorons #latinamericanwomen #sakurawatercolor #koiwatercolors @sakuracolorproducts @sakuraofamerica #day1 #sketchbook #sketch #sketchdaily #dailysketches #theivorybunny #chasethebunny #progressnotperfection #finishednotperfect (at Springfield, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq2lx0EhzkV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v9kb3zz1vmyq
