The present essay contains a description of the role played by the Duarte and Diez Family, especially Rosa Protomártir Duarte, in the Independence project designed and organized by her brother, Juan Pablo Duarte. This work is the result of a seminar organized by the History and Anthropology School of the Universídad Autónoma de Santo Domingo, with the purpose of connecting the students with the women contributions in the historical processes of the Dominican Republic. Rosa Duarte, like another group of women committed to the project of the Dominican independence in 1844, got involved in a determined way. The role she played was outstanding, and it increased during Duarte's family´s exile, as it is seen in the legacy she left to the Dominican historiography with her «Notes of Rosa Duarte», a work considered as the main and the most reliable source in order to know Juan Pablo Duarte's life and work.
