Catalina de Erauso's "Lieutenant Nun: Memoir Of A Basque Transvestite In The New World" - Human Conflict

Number of Pages 3

3 pages in length. While Catalina de Erauso's raucous autobiography entitled Lieutenant Nun: Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World does incorporate the undercurrent of cross dressing and alternative lifestyles, an even greater subtext is the gratuitous and very common reality of human conflict. From the moment she enters the nunnery until she exposes her real self to the King some decades later, de Erauso's life is fraught with conflict between and against her fellow man, a truth so striking that it comes through in the author's staid, emotionless depiction that is wholly lacking of any personal introspection that would afford some understanding of her deeper emotions. No additional sources cited.
