Examines Vida and la Monja Alfrez as autobiography by comparing it with other works, understanding that autobiography is an intersubjective and hybrid form or a forma fronteriza.

One of the earliest known autobiographies by a woman, this is the extraordinary tale of Catalina de Erauso, who in 1599 escaped from a Basque convent dressed as a man and went on to live one of the most wildly fantastic lives of any person in history. A soldier in the Spanish army, traveler to Peru and Chile, gambler, and even dueler.

Catalina de Erauso (1592-1650) was a Basque noblewoman who escaped from the convent, dressed as a man, won a soldier's pension and papal dispensation to continue dressing in men's clothing. Velasco argues that the ways that Erauso's life has been transformed into public spectacle show how transgender narratives expose and manipulate spectators' fears and desires.
