 Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, La Corregidora, was born on
September 8, 1768 in the city of Valladolid, today Morelia,
Michoacán. After the death of her mother, her aunt María, who
lived in Mexico City, took care of her and enrolled her in the
Colegio de San Ignacio de Loyola, commonly called “Las
Vizcaínas”

When Josefa became pregnant,

she had to leave school.
In that space he met Miguel Domínguez, one of Miguel looked for her when he

invasion of Spain to establish independence.
 On September 13, 1810, the conspiracy was betrayed. Someone
alerted the ecclesiastical judge Rafael Gil de León. In turn, the
judge informed Miguel Domínguez so that, in his capacity as
regional authority, he could act against said threat. He had not

was happening in them. Without daring to take sides, he began

The priest of Dolores, then, decided that
the uprising planned for October would be
brought forward to the early hours of
September 16, thus beginning a long and
painful process of emancipation that
would only reach Independence until
1821.
 On September 16, 1810, Miguel and Josefa were arrested on
suspicion of participating in the conspiracy. Josefa paid dearly for her
participation in the conspiracy and for her persistence in supporting
the insurgents; she suffered years of confinement in convents in
Querétaro and Mexico City, separated from her children and husband.
They locked him up in the convent of Santa Cruz; to her, as a
political prisoner, in Santa Clara, both in the city of Querétaro.

She, despite an advanced state of pregnancy, remained in her

cell until she was released to give birth. Without this
diminishing his libertarian fervor one bit, he combined raising
the child with the role of informant for the independentists.

However, in 1813 she was arrested once again, but this

time she was transferred to Mexico City, where she was
no longer free from the accusation of being a conspirator
and in the convent of Santa Teresa la Antigua she was held
incommunicado. Her husband, the Corregidor, requested
leave from his position to assume his legal defense.
This complaint was the first of a series against her: she was
accused of sedition and also of scandalous, seductive and
pernicious conduct; Calleja’s spies accused her of morally
and economically supporting the cause insurgent, now to
the troops of the liberal York freemason José María
Morelos.

From 1814 to 1816 she was imprisoned in Santa Teresa, awaiting the trial
that had been prepared for her for treason. During February 1814, Josefa
wrote three times to the viceroy to expose her critical family situation, since
her fourteen daughters and sons were in custody. On the brink of helplessness
due to her husband’s fragile health.

He asks for compassion and maintains that, by law, he

must be notified of the crime he is accused of and
proceed to trial. You don’t receive a response. There she
had her last child and her health was severely diminished.
 On November 16, 1816, six years after being persecuted
and arrested, Josefa Ortiz received a four-year prison
sentence. His new prison was the convent of Santa
Catalina de Sena.

June 1817, La Corregidora was released, despite not having accepted the
pardon, and was to live under house arrest in his house. On Indio Triste
Street, in Mexico City. He was about to turn 49 years old. During the
period from 1813 to 1820 the Domínguez were separated by the
confinement of Josefa, due to the distance of the a Manuel’s work and for
the surveillance viceregal, but they remained expectant of independence.

In the last years of her life Josefa was
