    Female representation in Ecuadorian literature and history has been marked by processes of invisibilization that have limited the recognition of women's role in the country's social and political development. In this context, I Have Always Been Nela Martínez recovers the memory and experiences of one of the most significant female figures in twentieth-century Ecuador. However, most studies have focused on her political trajectory, leaving aside the analysis of female representations and forms of resistance present in her autobiography. Therefore, this research aimed to examine the construction of the rebellious woman in the work through the theoretical contributions of Simone de Beauvoir. The study adopted a qualitative and critical-literary approach based on the textual analysis of the autobiography and categories such as woman, resistance, and representation. The findings reveal that Nela Martínez constructs a female identity that breaks with the traditional roles imposed by patriarchal society, establishing herself as a figure of rebellion, political participation, and social commitment. Likewise, resistance is expressed through the questioning of structures of domination, the defense of popular sectors, and the creation of networks of female solidarity. It is concluded that the work presents Nela Martínez as a symbol of resistance and social transformation, demonstrating that the construction of the rebellious woman emerges from critical awareness, personal experience, and collective commitment
