This article analyses the different representations of women in colonial Chile, specifically the case study of Catalina de los Ríos y Lisperberg, a real-life historical character, who became the archetypical myth of the monster woman, under the nickname of La Quintrala. The article explores the Argentinian film La Quintrala (1955), directed by the popular idol Hugo del Carril. The Chilean television miniseries directed by Vicente Sabatini, La Quintrala, screened though Televisión Nacional de Chile channel (TVN, National Film Television) on air though April and July 1987, during Pinochet’s dictatorship. The episode of an educational program Algo habrán hecho por la historia de Chile, directed by Nicolás Acuña, also shown in TVN in June 2010, entitled “El mestizaje, la Quintrala y el poder de los jesuitas (1557 - 1721)”. And La Doña, nigh series (erotic series) also directed by Sabatini, thought Chilevisión channel on October 2011. Though these representations it becomes possible to analyse the representations of the colonial past as well as the women who inhabited it, proposing a new interpretations of the audiovisual material to make justice of Catalinas memory.
