  [S207] Miroslava Chavez-Garcia, BK-Negotiating Conquest: Gender & Power in CA 1770s-1780s, (University of Arizona Press, Sep 15, 2006), pp. 45-46. RAMIREZ--ZUNIGA RELATIONSHIP AND PUNISHMENT In the Spanish era, authorities sometimes publicly shamed such women by shaving their heads and one eyebrow and forcing them to stand outside the church after mass on Sundays.     One widow who experienced such humilation was Anastacia Zuniga, an angeleno, who had an extramarital relationship with a carpenter from Mision San Gabriel, Jose Antonio Ramirez. The liaison resulted in the birth of a daughter in 1818.     After appearing in church with her head and eyebrow shaved, the governor ordered the Comandante Militar Jose de la Guerra y Noriega, Los Angeles's comisionade (a military official with authority over local affairs), to remove her to the presidio of Santa Barbara and place her in seclusion in a casa de honor for six months. She was obliged to serve in the household and "lead a religious life as a Christian woman."     Ramirez, in contrast, only had to labor for one month on public works. The governor encouraged him to marry Zuniga and, if he refused, to pay for the child's support.
