Answer 1

Respuesta:

She was born in to slavery. In 1813, Juana Ramírez commanded an all-female, 100-strong artillery unit, which was instrumental in resisting Spanish soldiers’ attempts to reconquer the then newly independent Venezuela and make it a colony again. That were the first markers of the exact site were "La Avanzadora" is buried. A monument, constructed and declared the District Patriotic Sanctuary in 1975, and then the Regional Patriotic Sanctuary in 1994, designates the final resting place of her remains. The monument, Juana La Avanzadora, was erected in her honor on Bolívar avenue in Maturín. On October 23, 2001 the symbolic remains of Juana Ramírez were inducted into the National Pantheon of Venezuela, the last resting place of heroes of the War for Independence and important figures in Venezuelan society.

In 2015 she became the first black woman to be posthumously laid to rest in Venezuela's National Mausoleum of Heroes

Answer 2

The unlikely freedom fighter was born in 1790 in Guárico to a slave mother brought from Africa who was sold to General Andrés Rojas, who is suspected of being Juana’s father.

Juana was living in Marutin when the war for independence broke out. A fierce patriot, she immediately threw her support behind the movement, helping troops in logistics and in combat.

In 1813, she led a battalian of women in the Battle of Alto de los Godos and defeated Spanish general Domingo de Monteverde. Juana was the first to advance against the enemy and charged with such fury and commitment she was afterwards awarded the title, “La Avanzadora,” or, “The Advancer.”

Maturin later fell to Spanish commander Jose Francisco Morales, forcing Juana and other fighters to flee to the mountains.

Juana died in 1856 but remains an important symbol of Venezuelan independence and female resistance.

In a male-dominated period, Juana challenged traditional notions of a woman’s role in society. She stood side by side with her male comrades, overcoming racial and gender prejudice for the sake of a higher cause: Venezuelan independence. In honor of her contribution to the independence movement, Juana’s remains were moved Friday to the National Pantheon, where a special ceremony was held.

Speaking at the ceremony, President Maduro described La Avanzadora as a national hero, explaining, "Juana La Avanzadora has the courage and bravery of Venezuelan women who have historically been the mothers of the homeland."
