La Patrona (lit. 'The Boss') is a Spanish-language telenovela produced by Telemundo and Argos Comunicación. It is a remake of the 1984 Venezuelan telenovela La dueña. It premiered on Telemundo on January 8, 2013, replacing Corazón valiente, and ended on July 9 of the same year, being replaced by Marido en alquiler.
The series stars Aracely Arámbula as Gabriela Suárez, Jorge Luis Pila as Alejandro Beltrán, Christian Bach as Antonia Guerra and Gonzalo García Vivanco as Lucho.
The name reflects a Spanish term for addressing a person recognized as a main boss. However, the title is also a reflection of both the protagonist and the antagonist's struggle to conquer power, authority and respect in a labor field traditionally deemed to be a man's job.
