The Heroines of the Coronilla were a group of women who fought during the war of independence of the Royal Audience of Charcas, on May 27, 1812, in the city of Cochabamba facing the royalist general José Manuel de Goyeneche (1760-1814) who attacked the city after winning the Battle of Pocona three days earlier. The women of the city, led by Manuela Gandarillas, seeing themselves without the patriot army, organized themselves and decided to resist the Spaniards. They entrenched themselves at the top of the Colina de San Sebastián, in the place known as La Coronilla, about 1400 m from the center of Cochabamba where the royalist soldiers defeated them.
