Welcome to this week’s episode of Unruly Figures! I’m so excited to be covering our first South American revolutionary: Manuela Sáenz. In this episode, I talk about her childhood growing up during the independence movement in South America, how she met Simón Bolívar, the night she saved his life, and how she almost started a monarchy. It’s quite a ride.
