The liberal historiography of the XIX built an imaginary around Javiera Carrera, which was limited to a pasive role, something very typical of the woman of this period and that lets out others behaviors. From this premise, and focused on History of Mentalities, this study has the aim to reconstruct the symbolic repertoire about the body of Javiera, as a woman absorbed in a national independence context. Through her letters it is possible to elucidate how she was placed or presented in front of the period's facts, mainly from the perspective of the body and emotions, as a woman who lives and feels.
