Soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution

Tradition kept Mexican women from gaining any degree of equality. When the Mexican Revolution began in 1910, the role of many changed and the door for equality opened.
As the revolution took its course, women were needed and recruited in all parts of Mexico by both federal and rebel armies. Unlike the federal army, the revolutionaries enlisted women voluntarily, and they came from rich and poor, educated and uneducated backgrounds. Their reasons for joining the war varied. Some women joined their husbands to care for them, while others enlisted to avenge the death of a husband or other relative. Soldaderas whose husbands died in battle often continued in their roles as the soldadera of another soldier.
The soldadera was the most typical role women played in contribution to the Mexican Revolution. It was typical in that it involved a large number of women and that it followed the most accepted gender-based roles for women as caregivers. Although they occasionally fought in battle, these women generally traveled with the revolutionary armies to forage for food, cook meals, nurse the wounded, wash clothes, and other services not provided by the military. Soldaderas endured miserable living conditions, malnutrition, and even childbearing under inhospitable surroundings. While no army of the revolution fought without women, each organized female participation in a distinct manner. Soldaderas generally remained anonymous and were never recognized for their indispensable contribution to the revolution.

the shadow of their husbands, dedicated to family life and church.
