Dr. Libia’s Reviews > From the House to the Streets: The Cuban Woman's Movement for Legal Reform, 1898-1940 > Status Update

Feminism in Cuba during the 1800's. Dr. Maria Luisa Dolz opening a secular school to educate women for leadership in society. Also believed in "physical training" to make women stronger "for private and public life". I like her thinking! Of course, there is Carlos de Velasco,a Cuban statesman, who feared "education would produce masculine men" As if femininity were truly that fragile.

This book is awesome so far. Feminist history in Cuba in the 1800s. Dr. Maria Luisa Dolz opened a school to educate and empower women to contribute to society and to think. Also believed in physical training to make women strong. I like her.
