Martínez de Nisser was born in Sonsón, Antioquia in 1812.[4][3] Eventually, she married a Swedish immigrant, Pedro Nisser.[5] During the War of the Supremes, she learned that her husband had been captured by rebels.[3] At age 28, driven both by her desire to rescue her husband and her intense patriotism, she cut her hair, got together a uniform, and volunteered to fight for the government's side; she took part in the Battle of Salamina on 5 May 1841.[4][6]
She later published her diary recounting her experiences.[7]
