Mavericks & Legends: La Malinche

Womanica - A podcast by iHeartPodcasts and Wonder Media Network

La Malinche (c. 1496-c. 1529) is still a hotly debated figure in Mexican lore. She’s viewed by some as a traitor and villainous temptress. By others, she’s seen as a victim of Spanish colonialism, a slave and the mother of a new race. She was an interpreter for the Spanish and was seen as inseparable from conquistador Hernan Cortez.
