Agustina Palacio de Libarona

Agustina Palacio de Libarona (also known as La Heroína del Bracho; February 1, 1825 – December 13, 1880) was a 19th-century Argentine writer, storyteller, and heroine.

She became known in her province for facing the federal leader and governor of Santiago del Estero, Juan Felipe Ibarra, who had imprisoned Capt.

[5][6] According to accounts, De Moussy and his colleague Benjamín Poucel traveled to Salta due to a rumor about a woman who had an interesting experience.

When they met with Palacio and heard her story, they decided to write it in a manuscript that would be published in 1858 in the newspaper, Religión de Félix Frías and translated into French in 1861.

The narrative of the "heroine of Bracho" really took on importance from 1866, when it was published in Madrid in the fifth volume of La vuelva al mundo (The return to the world).
