| description | María Ignacia Rodríguez de Velasco, known simply as La Güera Rodríguez, has fascinated Mexicans both during her life and posthumously. This article compares the “real” woman with her later historical, literary and artistic representations. It follows her life story (which is interesting, but not extraordinary for a woman of her class and times), her disappearance from Mexican literature during the second half of the 19th Century and her resurrection and transformation into an iconic figure in the 20th and 21st centuries. In this long road to fame, her image got further and further from the flesh-and-blood woman who lived from 1778 to 1850. There are so many myths surrounding her that it’s difficult to separate the woman from the legend. This analysis of the construction of these legends illuminates Mexican culture during many periods, because the different versions of La Güera that have been developed at different times reflect the ideology of each author and the context of their times. It also reminds us that history is living and that there is a great gulf between historic events and their memory. |

Doña María Ignacia Rodríguez de Velasco, conocida simplemente como La Güera Rodríguez, ha fascinado a los mexicanos tanto durante su vida como después de su muerte. Este artículo compara la “verdadera” mujer con sus representaciones posteriores en obras históricas, literarias y artísticas. Sigue su trayectoria por la vida (interesante, pero no extraordinaria para una mujer de su clase y época), su desaparición de las letras mexicanas en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, y su resurrección y transformación en el siglo XX y XXI que la convirtió en una figura icónica. En este largo camino hacia la fama se apartaba más y más de la mujer de carne y huesos que vivió de 1778 a 1850. De hecho, ella ha sido sujeto de tantos mitos que es muy difícil desenredar a la mujer de la leyenda. Este análisis de la construcción de esas leyendas ilumina la cultura mexicana en varios periodos, porque las diferentes versiones de La Güera que se han elaborado en distintos momentos reflejan la ideología de cada autor y el contexto de su época. También nos recuerda que la historia todavía vive y que hay una gran brecha entre los acontecimientos históricos y la memoria de éstos.
