Mexican Revolution(Role of Women)
By Rosalia Sanchez
Summary
Mexican Revolution took place in Mexico from November 20, 1910 - 1920. Everything started off because of the fact that there were many wealthy people that were taking over low/middle class' hard work. Before the Mexican Revolution, Women tended to be at home taking care of their kids or cleaning the house but after the Mexican Revolution started Women decided to join and become servers, and officers themselves. In the article, The Mexican Revolution, it states "With the strife of revolution came an opportunity for participation and many women joined up, serving as writers, politicians and even soldiers. Zapata's army, in particular, was known for the number of female soldiers or “soldaderas” among the ranks and even serving as officers." Many people were affected by the Mexican Revolution especially the workers and women because they wouldn't really get anything from the hard work they would do. The wealthy class would take over everything that farmers would make in their lands and would leave them with almost nothing. Women decided to stay as writers, politicians, and even soldiers because of the fact that they were losing everything they would start to make and would get nothing in return.
