Biography
Ana was born in Bucharest, in the Olarilor slum, in the family of a merchant, Atanasie Ghiulerasă, from the incipient bourgeoisie at the end of the Phanariot period. In 1828 she married the tenant Ivancea Dimitrie, from whom she divorced in 1831 (1931), in the same year her father died. Due to this situation she had an arranged marriage with Nicolae Ipătescu.

She participated directly in the revolution and led the pro-revolutionary crowds, and was arrested on June 19, 1848 because of a counter-revolutionary conspiracy.
