Women in the Mexican Revolution Research Proposal

This fearlessness is exemplary in the increasing awareness of all women; even those who appeared disassociated from the Revolution itself. Stephanie J. Smith (1), for example, mentions specific women from very different social backgrounds. These women became aware of new opportunities to obtain better lives by means of the judicial system. In addition, even the simplest of these persons demonstrated their considerable, although latent, intellectual prowess by arguing their cases and insisting upon their rights as citizens of the country. The Mexican Revolution therefore acted as not only an opportunity, but also a catalyst for women to understand their full power and realize their potential as females and as equal citizens of the country.References
