Pre-Revolutionary Mexican Women
Before the Mexican Revolution, under Porfirio, women went largely unheard. In 1884, the Mexican Civil Code was passed. This regulated the rights of married and single women alike. Women who had not married were granted many of the same rights as men, though they were forced to live at home with their parents until they were thirty. Women who married could not vote, divorce, sell property, sign a contract, sue, or make decisions about children. Women were confined to a life of service to their husbands and the church.

It's so interesting to compare women's rights before the Revolution to our rights during the Revolution. It has certainly changed many things, especially things concerning women! I have been taking care of my ranch and made all of the decisions regarding my children, their education, and money.
