Abstract
Escrito em 1556 por um dos participantes da conquista e colonização do Rio da Prata, a carta de Isabel de Guevara para a princesa Juana é um testemunho crucial de seu tempo. O valor desse documento vem da condição pessoal do autor, definida como testemunha ocular dos fatos descritos. É dessa maneira que ela estabelece a verossimilitude da narração baseada no discurso jurídico. Esse artigo busca interrogar as construções binarias de colonial/imperial, margem/centro e local/global, a partir de um exame da carta de Isabel de Guevara em um contexto hispano-americano mais amplo.

In our discussion we seek to interrogate the binary constructions of colonial/imperial, margin/center, and local/global because, upon an examination of Isabel de Guevaras letter in a broader Spanish American colonial context, it is clear that the strategies she employs are in step with minority literature more so than exclusively womens literature
Isabel de Guevara attempts to influence Princess Juana through a meta-textual comment on the history of the chroniclers of the conquest of America, her view is revealed indirectly by means of comparisons and examples articulated through analogies to the central thesis of the letter: the prominence of women in the exploration and conquest of the territories of the Río de la Plata area
