To hold a dialogue and deliver proposals to transform our reality,we must be informed about the subject and define how we will substantiate the information to promote change in others.

Throughout history, women have sought and fought for their rights. In Mexico, since 1955, women have been able to participate in elections and exercise their right to vote (Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos [cNDH], n.d.). Fighting for themselves, women have also gained power over their bodies, and many are even questioning whether they want to be mothers or not. This has been a significant change since being a mom was recently considered mandatory!

While historical sources have certainly ignored the role of women in history, it is also true that many women have made sure to report on their contributions themselves, enabling us to access their expertise and the social movements they have led.Many have used oral tradition, pamphlets, songs, movies, books,and the internet, among others, as the means to express and show their wisdom.
