La Mujer Moderna

[3] During the Mexican Revolution, feminism shifted, by focusing on increasing political participation and involvement of women in war efforts, challenging Victorian morality.

After Galindo’s father passed away, she began working out of economic necessity, and immersed herself in political involvement when she moved back to her birthplace of Durango, Mexico.

There, Galindo, Edelmira Trejo de Meillon, and Elvia Carillo Puerto, proponents of suffrage, expressed that women deserved to vote in order to defend the interests of humanity, the homeland, and their children, in a different way that a man could not.

[5] Galindo references the laws in Colorado and Massachusetts that gave mothers the same rights over their children that their husbands had in the context of separation and divorce.

The piece also cites the gender wage gap, and the increase in proportion of educated voters as motives behind granting women the right to vote.

[6] The contributors of La Mujer Moderna critically analyzed topics concerning women including: reproductive rights, divorce, the importance of education, and societal beauty standards.

Galindo's role as an author of books centered around Carranza's doctrine and Pablo Gonzalez' candidacy influenced the conclusion of La Mujer Moderna.
