María de Estrada

María de Estrada (c. 1475 or 1486 – between 1537–48) was a Spanish woman who was part of Hernán Cortés's expedition to Mexico between 1519 and 1524, in which she traveled as a conquistador and fought against the Aztec Empire. It's also purported that she had previously spent several years as a castaway among the indigenous peoples of pre-colonial Cuba.
