JUANA P.
MANSO
(1819–75)
Myriam Southwell
I know that in the period I live in, in my country I am an orphan soul or an exotic plant
unable to acclimatize.
(Juana Manso, letter to Mary Mann, 1869.
)
We have a sad experience of how important it is to spread learning to the masses, if this had
been the first step after May 1810, and if there had been a clean break with the traditions of

settled in Buenos Aires in 1859.

which included present-day Uruguay—endured the wars of independence from Spain.
From
that time until well into the 1850s and 1860s, this territory was marked by wars of
