Juana Ramírez “The Advancer”: Symbol of passion and struggle in defense of the Fatherland (+seeding)

On October 23, 1856, Juana Ramírez died, a patriotic woman who gave her life to the libertarian cause of the peoples and who, due to her indomitable nature, earned the distinction of “The Advancer”.

This warrior, born in the town of Chaguaramal, located near Maturín, defended Venezuelan territory from the army of Domingo Monteverde in 1813, on May 25, when she managed to get a group of women to move towards the Spanish enemy and face with great courage the realists who were defeated.

When independence from Venezuela was achieved, Juana settled in Guacharacas (now San Vicente), in the state of Monagas, where she formed a small family with her five daughters: Clara, Juana, Juana Josefa and Victoria.

168 years after the planting of this warrior symbol of the strength and determination of patriotic women, the Venezuelan people honor their memory and reaffirm their conviction to defend the Homeland, following the example of Juana Ramírez “The Advancer”.
