Más que la hermana de Simón Bolívar: la verdadera historia de MARIA ANTONIA con Inés Quintero

Who was Bolívar's sister, really? Inés Quintero reveals the story of María Antonia: the monarchist woman who opposed her brother, Simón Bolívar, and the republic, and who was at the center of a scandalous court case for love. Official history often confiscates the past from us, framing it with heroes and marble statues, but the archives tell a different story. In this episode of "With an Ear to the Letter," we speak with historian Inés Quintero about a woman who deserves her own place in our collective memory: María Antonia Bolívar. Through her books, "The Principal Creole Woman" and the account of her controversial love trial, we discover a woman of unwavering convictions who dared to be a monarchist while her brother, Simón Bolívar, fought for independence. But her story doesn't end with the war; years later, at 57, María Antonia scandalized Caracas society with a romance and a trial that allows us to understand the contradictions of republican Venezuela.
