Guerrilla leader in World War II
Nieves Fernandez (born circa 1906) was a Filipino guerrilla leader in Tacloban City, during World War II.[2][3]
Before the war, Fernandez worked as a school teacher. When the Imperial Japanese began occupying the Philippine Islands, including her hometown of Tacloban, Fernandez organized a resistance movement that numbered around 110 fighters.[4] She then waged an unconventional war against the Japanese throughout their occupation. Fernandez became one of the most well-known female guerrilla leaders during the war. Her exploits would be remembered through newspapers, academic literature, and works of art.
