Sister Juana Ines De La Cruz

Women’s right has been a problem throughout the nineteen century. Women generally have had fewer legal rights and career opportunities than men. Wifehood and motherhood were women's most significant professions, in the 19th century; however, women won the right to vote and increased their educational and job opportunities. Women were long considered naturally weaker than men. Prior to the American Revolution the women were viewed as weak and unable to perform hard work. Also, women place were the house, take care their children, clean the house, organized the house, cook, and take care animals. During the American Revolution many women faced a lot problems because they

In Isabel Allende’s Inés of My Soul, one woman, Inés Suarez, challenges the traditional role of women and society by embarking upon a journey alongside her companion to conquer a part of the New World. Throughout the expedition, Inés faces challenges because of her gender, yet she also manages to use her gender and the traditional gender role to her advantage.

Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was born in Jalapa, Veracruz Mexico, on February 21, 1794. He belongs to a “criollo” middle class family. His parents were from Spain. He was a Mexican politician and military leader who was President of Mexico eleven times from 1833 to 1855. He was president officially six times, and unofficially five more. He was also a disastrous president of Mexico because he lost Texas and much more of the current American west in the United States. However, by far he was an important figure of his generation in the Mexican history. Many people love him during his first years of president, and he was remembered for two major conflicts, the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 during the Texas Revolution, and as a restored Mexican leader during the Mexican-American War in 1847 (tshaonline.org).

Women always played a prominent role in the history of America. Usually, women are considered to stay at home and raise their children. However, every individual should play an equal part in the society development by utilizing their skills and efforts. This spirit can be seen during World War II, when women realized the need of the hour and they decided to participate in war activities. Millions of women started to work outside the home and also worked in the military.

Never the less, Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz set the bar high during her time as far as dedication to venture outside of the realm of what was socially accepted and provide proof that women have the same ability to study, learn, and teach as men did. She wrote with such

Not only did these women find a place in society other than by the stove, they won the appreciation and respect of men and women around them. Two of the most extraordinary of these women were Dolores Jimenez y Muro, who was an important political writer, and Hermila Galindo, who was a political speaker and advocate for Carranza’s campaign and regime. Dolores Jimenez y Muro's importance is evident in how she was able to have her voice heard and listened to by high-ranking revolutionary officials. Hermila Galindo's prominence is shown by her distinguished political career and feminist movements.

Anachronologically deemed a feminist for her writings, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz stood in the New World as a defiant, female Catholic. Through her work, she displays her head-strong character, illuminating the hypocrisy that was flourishing in patriarchal Mexico while simultaneously creating metaphors that clearly showed how she viewed her situation. Moreover, through extenstive allusions, she displays her aptitude, proving that she had one true love in life: the love for learning. Perhaps doomed from the start because of her sex, any time Sor Juana delved into her passion she was bound to hear insolence from a traditional member of society, namely the Bishop of Puebla,

Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, as portrayed in Trambley’s play is only concerned with her own desires. She never shows interest in other women’s rights and she never speaks to other

Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz was a woman far beyond her years. Living in a time when society was dominated by men, she disregarded the fact that women during this time were forced to be uncurious objects, whose highest achievement in life was to give birth. Her relentless pursuit to attain knowledge and defy her culture's standards for women is illustrated throughout her writings. In the readings, ("Response to the Most Illustrious Poetess Sor Filotes de la Cruz, the three "Romances" and the "Redondillas"), she spills out her beliefs, feelings and pain in forms of symbolic devices and irony in attempt to erase the differences between men and women as intellectual beings, as well as to argue for a woman's right to pursue

In “The Unfinished Revolution” by Maria Shriver from TIME magazine, the author discusses about the process of changing of women’s role in the workplace and in their own family since the first Commission on the Status of Women of the U.S. For the first half of the article, the author mentions about her root and the beginning of the new age for the women once soft and submissive to rise up and take the lead in their own free lives. Next for the second half, the author interviews some of the men as she travels across the state, and turns out some of them are feeling stressed out too because they do not know how to react to the sudden change in the system that they used to know. A Seattle man told Maria: “All of us grew up thinking this was a man’s world, that doors were just gonna open to us because we had a Y chromosome”. Despite the change of equality in favor of the women, some fields still remain as roadblocks to the movement like sexual harassment, lack of health care services, childcare policy, and taxes.

I hope you are having a good weekend. I'm sorry to bother you again. I have made some small corrections to my personal statement. If you haven't read the first one I sent you, would you proofread this one instead please? The corrections I made were very small, so it doesn't really matter. I wanted to send you this one in case you haven't read the last one. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

All women ever wanted was to get rights for every women that would come after them. Education was always the cornerstone of all the movements that these women led. Furthermore, all women wanted was to be treated equally to all of the men. Women like the Mirabal sisters are the reason why women are standing up for change to occur with our rights still to this day. When women like the Mirabel sisters started to revolt that’s when women started to realize that in order for change to happen you have to go out there and change it. Change doesn’t happen overnight, and change definitely doesn’t occur when someone doesn’t do something about. Throughout history women were known to be their just for the husband, and nothing else. In today’s world,

Nowadays, in a growing number of housewives who came out of their family and became a worker, we unconsciously admitted the phenomenon that women and men are no gender differences. Under this recognition, we focused more on class equality instead of gender equality. However, in Maria Mies’s Colonization and Housewifization, she questioned about this dissertation by giving examples and facts.

Latin American women have faced centuries of gender discrimination and exploitation that have limited their participation in social, economic, and political endeavors. The traditional role of domestic servitude under a patriarchal society has occasionally included entering the general workforce in order to meet the economic needs of a family, but the continuous battle against gender biases has stifled their advancement. As a result of the constraints placed on women, many sought refuge in convents that sprang up across the continent in hopes of improving their quality of life. The convent offered women many new opportunities they would not otherwise have, but it too was fraught with internal discord based on gender, race, ethnicity and social stratification.

Between the late 1700’s and the early 1900’s many American women struggled to obtain the same rights as men. The society of women as a whole had pushed for equality constantly throughout the years. Women especially obtained more equality by publicizing their reasoning and demands for equality. This, is first and foremost proven by the way women had advocated greatly for improved academics for women. Women used another good tactical approach to achieve equality by speaking out strongly against inequalities between the genders.A third example of a great leap for equality, would be the religious movement, the upsurge in religious enthusiasm allowed women to demonstrate their piety and even to found new sects; and this in turn led to change in the way the world viewed women.
