We hope you will concur with our ultimate argument regarding the development of feminism in Mexico throughout the 20th century.
During the 20th century in Mexico, women fought against oppressive patriarchal structures, or machismo, that had been embedded into Mexican culture for centuries. Coming into roles as feminist advocates, over the course of just 100 years, women made substantial progress in breaking free of the confines of femininity, or marianismo, to establish autonomy and a life outside of being a pure wife and mother. While there is still work to be done today in 2020, as oppression still exists, via battles in the political world, expression in various artistic mediums, and developing a voice outside the home, women became feminists who continue to demand more from Mexican culture.
