Mariquita Sanchez, Juan Manuel de Rosas, and the Beginnings of Argentina
Description
In 1837 Mariquita Sánchez de Mendeville was so fed up with governor Juan Manuel de Rosas that she chose to leave her beloved city of Buenos Aires. Juan Manuel de Rosas's version of order alienated Mariquita, who chose self-imposed exile. Their lives provide an overarching narrative for Argentine history for both scholars and students.
