▼ This dissertation concentrates on three main areas related to the life and adventures narrated in Vida i sucesos de la Monja Alférez, the autobiography of Catalina de Erauso, the Lieutenant Nun, who escaped from a convent, reconfigured her self-image and, dressed as a man, joined the Spanish Army in the conquest of México and Perú. With her escape and subversive self-engendering, Erauso abandoned the private spheres of the home and convent mandated by the patriarchy and obtained freedom, agency, and historical relevance. First, I examine her transformation into the author/narrator/protagonist subject she became with the writing of her autobiography, a hybrid product that includes elements of other genres; her work is analyzed to address questions of veracity, authenticity, and possible mediation of others in this text that many consider apocryphal for lack of an original manuscript. Also, I examine her text from the perspective of criticism received for the inclusion of ficcional passages, to contradict such claims based on research in autobiographical studies that consider fiction a constitutive element of any autobiography. Second, the focus encompasses the subversion of social law and patriarchal authority that reshaped her into the transgressive subject through her escape, life as a transvestite woman-soldier, lesbian tendencies, and appropriation of masculine territory with the writing of an autobiography designed to obtain remuneration from the Spanish Crown for her military services, and permission from the Pope to live legally as a man. I also examine her transvestism as mask and as instrument of construction of her masculine personality; issues of gender identity and generic imitation; the symbolism of clothing; the socio-cultural factors contributing to the success of her enterprise; and why Erauso was never punished for her transgressions. Finally, I focus on Erauso as the famous individual she became in her lifetime, acclaimed by the eminent and powerful after her transvestism became public. I explore the socio-cultural phenomenon she became and list some cultural products inspired by her life and autobiography such as plays, novels, films, and contemporary popular and academic essays, all of which are testimony to her power to stand the test of time.

▼ The writing subject in the La Vida de la Monja Alférez: Autobiografía atribuida a Doña Catalina de Erauso is a difficult subject to determine because of the apocryphal nature of the text, the impact of multiple authors on the subsequent copies of the work, and the gender changes of the protagonist. There have been many critical approaches implemented to study this text, among them sociological, historical, feminist and formalist. All of these have added invaluable information to the understanding of the text, but few have focused on all of the Erauso entities manifested in the Vida. Further investigation is warranted into the writing subject phenomenon in Early Modern Spain to evaluate the messages that the collective writing subject is imparting. Applying Paul Smith's concept of the writing subject as a psychological collective entity that presents messages to the reader (xxx), the work can be evaluated for the various messages presented by the collective writing subject using the narrator and protagonist. Additionally, an evaluation of the historical Erauso and the history of the text will aid in understanding the various points of entry for other authors, editors, publicists and copyists. Investigating the fields of Early Modern Autobiography, Soldier's Autobiography as well as the the various literary genres which are present in the text will clarify particular scenes that contribute to the development of the protagonist. All of these areas of investigation will allow the messages that the collective writing subject brings to the text to be analyzed. The writing subject of Erauso's life story can also be compared to the writing subjects of female soldier's life stories to establish similarities between the two. Conclusions can be drawn about the nature of the collective writing subject, the importance of gender identity and the messages that the writing subject delivers through a study of the text and an application of the criticism.
