In this episode, we explore the life of one of the most famous—and controversial—women in Latin American history. She has been called many names: Malinche, Marina, Malintzin, Malinalli. An Indigenous woman at the heart of the Spanish conquest, she has been viewed as both a traitor and a crucial bridge between cultures. But how much of her story is shaped by bias? And how is the feminist movement challenging long-held narratives to paint a more nuanced and realistic picture of who she really was? Join us as we explore this fascinating historical figure.
Learn more about Malinche! We actually know very little about the historical figure, but there are plenty of fictional narratives about her.
