Women in Revolutionary Movement
“Women in Revolutionary Movements” serves as an introduction to the presence of women in the Mexican Revolution (read only up to page 346, where it ends with "ties with working women").
Prior to reading Jaquette’s article, 1) what was your impression of women in the battlefield? 2) What famous women do you know in the making of our US history? (What did they do and what change was brought about?) 3) Given the facts Jaquette presents in her article, what’s your overall view of the Mexican Revolution (as perceived through our readings and the murals)?

Your comment should consist of at least thirty-five sentences.
