The Mexican revolution is defined as a social and political movement; However, it was a historical fact that goes beyond, since it was crucial in the lives of Mexicans to the present day. Without this fight, we would probably continue in a dictatorial regime, with a high economic level worldwide, but with the most heinous injustices for less favored strata, women and older adults, among others.
Although thanks to Madero who began the revolt, Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata who defended the peasants or Venustiano Carranza who promulgated the Political Constitution of 1917, the movement was a success, but we cannot stop mentioning The women who participated in the change.
Unfortunately, Female participation has been reduced to Adelitas' rolewhich is not little, on the contrary. Without them in the armies, they would probably have not triumphed and much less survived. But in addition to being brave guerrillas on the battlefield, some of them also did work outside the armed struggle.
