Abstract

In the context of loving relationships between masters and slave women occurred in the New Kingdom of Granada during the Hispanic domain, this article aims to analyze the problems revolved around the incessant struggle of these women to obtain the freedom both her and the descendants of that union. The cases described expose the immense complications that these women had to face in the midst of a traditionally patriarchal society and strongly permeated by moral principles touted by Catholicism. But even with all the difficulties, it is really remarkable courage and determination with which they sought to claim their sentimental rights and their right to freedom.
