It features one of the few women who have remained in Haitian history as a heroine of the war of independence... She sank into madness, historians say, after seeing her three brothers and two of her sons massacred..., in the middle of the war of independence. She would, however, continue to follow the army, paying more and more attention to Dessalines, to whom she seemed to devote boundless veneration, this idol whose remains she would have to collect, to bury them, on October 17, 1806, following the assassination of the latter by his generals... It is this precise moment of her life which is highlighted here: she discovers the bloody remains of Dessalines, at the side of a road, she cries with anger and indignation - then decides, in a gesture close to that of Antigone, to take them with her to give the emperor a burial worthy of the name."-- Babelica Alliance Publishers.
