This paper analyzes a large amount of data and concludes that Beatriz Manrique de Lara Alberro, Marchioness of García del Postigo, was author of the newspaper La Pensadora Gaditana and translator of the Voltaire’s tragedy Zaïre, published as Combates de amor y ley. In the first case, under the pseudonym of «Beatriz Cienfuegos», composed by her own name and an anagram from the name of her daughter; in the second, under another pseudonym formed by the names of her husband and one of her sons, «Juan Francisco del Postigo», transformed into the anagram «Fernando Jugaccis Pilotos».
