AGUSTINA DE ARAGON !!!!

WHO IS AGUSTINA DE ARAGON?

 

There are famous people in all regions and in Aragon, there are several examples but I want to talk about Agustina de Aragon.

She was born in Barcelona in 1786 and although she was young she married Juan Roca in 1803. Her husband worked in the army so during the Independence Spain War they lived in Zaragoza. One day the soldiers were fighting with french army and she carried food to her husband and despite THE FACT THAT  she wasn't a soldier,SHE  fired a cannon to THE fFrench army. Because of this, THE  fFrench army left. Since then all people called her “La Artillera '' and she became a great defender of the people in different wars. Also she was a Pioneer because in that period the women  WEREN’T wasn´t soldiers.

In conclusion, she is considered one of the most representative symbols of Spanish resistance against French invaderS and has a monument in Zaragoza.
