Gender In Mexican Culture

Gender has had an extraordinary impact on how people lived their everyday lives. Since the beginning of time, many roles, specifically in the family setting, were deemed by gender. The male went out to work and was the money maker and the female took care of the house hold. However, throughout history, there have been women who have made significant strides in fighting this historical stereotype. A majority of the success has come from written work. Writers such as Sor Juana and Gloria Anzaldúa have express their disgust with the way society implements the role of women. However, these views can revert back to contact zones. The relationship between men and women in Mexican culture is a result of a cultural contact zone.
