The Mexican woman from the perspective of Rosario Castellanos
Rosario Castellanos Figueroa writer, journalist and Mexican diplomaticI on the feminist side by leaving in his works a perception of the problem since those years.
Castellanos points out that the developed woman has been able to achieve economic independence, access to education centers, to popular representations in politics, a series of rights in the law, continues to undergo deteriorated customs and unjust morals imposed by thesociety, especially when you try to live your own life.
Castellanos lived convinced that literature together with other cultural forms, economic structures and political thoughts, can transform society by raising a clear explanation about feminism by neutrally making it a critique about the books that portray apast and a present, without capturing a thought towards the future. What is expected to get this?, Will it impact it thunderly on society? And if that were the case, the vision of society would completely change as we know it, looking for a complete vision of fullness in society.
In his essays, along with his feminist struggle, he reflects a continuous search for identity, for all women, beyond raising solutions, issues complaints, describes oppressive situations, suggests reflection, analysis of situations that become “something”normal because in society you can see a lack of value towards the identity of women. His concern for social injustices committed against women not for mere whim of being feminist. Her experiences and personal experiences drove her strongly to react and begin the fight against customs and traditions or forms of thought, predominant in Mexico regarding women.
His childhood was marked by abandonment, carelessness and lack of affection by his parents who always preferred the male son on his daughter caused a need to express his emotions of rejection, his sorrows, his pains and his mortifications forThe abuse he received from his parents, managing to express it through the letters that would last as he passed from the years as their own testimony and similarities in which millions of women can be identified throughout the history of Mexico and the world.
In conclusion, they argue that there is no female culture because women are not interested in intervening in cultural processes. This indifference does not result from its lack of capacity, but the possibility of satisfying your need for your own expectations, desires, longing, either a total or partial brake on the development of their women’s abilities, whether for physical reasons,psychological or social, preventing him from performing any action that generates a cumulus of insecurities classified in an archaic society, he addresses, in an attempt to compensate, to another land that is, due to imitation and lack of other alternatives andThe lack of a better perspective, that of culture.
Confirming the idea that literature, for Rosario Castellanos and for women in general, is a relief, a partial escape from society, telling an ideal world, your ideal world.
