Evita Peron's Rise To Power
Evita Peron’s life is a testament to the innate ability to craft ourselves into the people we want to be seen as. Although her morals, beliefs, and politics were not things everyone agreed with, they became irrelevant in the face of the recreation and metamorphosis that Evita was a representation of. Furthermore, despite what Navarro describes as the myths in regards to Evita’s rise to power, and the fact that ultimately she gained notoriety from her husband, Evita’s ability to shape herself into a woman of tremendous influence despite is no doubt her ultimate empowerment.
Of the way in which Evita crafted her persona of extravagance, Navarro writes, “although she knew that the oligarchy criticized that image, she sensed that the descamisados

    The characterization, in The House on Mango Street, of Esperanza’s great-grandmother and Rafaela is used to convey how women were inferior to men in Esperanza’s society. According to Esperanza, her great-grandmother was a very wild woman. That is why she refused to marry until a man “threw a sack over her head and carried her off” (Cisneros, 11). This shows how unimportant women are, of that time, that a man could kidnap a woman and she could do nothing, no matter how wild she was. Also, despite her wild personality, Esperanza’s great-grandmother shows how women could be forced into marriage without a say in who they marry. Like Esperanza’s great-grandmother, Rafaela has many hopes such as dancing at the dance hall or bar. However, she never…

It is a book of 470 pages divided in six parts that besides Sor Juana’s life and work, explain the difficulties of the time for an intellectual woman. It was published by The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1988.

My admiration and respect for Sor Juana started since I was a child and one of my sisters used to read her poems. Through my literature classes I knew a little more about her and the…

    In this essay, the author applied a main conceit: turning straw into gold. For example, being the “only daughter in a family of six men,” she grew up in the shadow of her brothers, which was said to be a challenge for her. However, being surrounded by them inspired her to insert them into her poems and stories, further developing their bond as siblings. As a woman in a traditional Mexican family, her father expected her to be “married long ago,” an idea she wasn’t particularly fond of; in spite of her father’s displeasure, she packed her bags and “crossed [her] father’s threshold with nothing carrying [her] but [her] own two feet”. The benefit of this was that this decision allowed her to gain experience, travel the world, and explore the beauty of life. Cisneros included this conceit to help describe all the challenges and victories she endured at various point in her life, all of which contributed to the reflective atmosphere of the…
