Historical analysis of inequality because of gender in Mexico

Abstract

History is a tool that allows us to gauge the role played by men and women along the different stages of development of a nation, and women’s history allows us to see the difficulties that have been faced in seeking recognition as persons with rights, in order to achieve real and material equality under the law, the autorithies and the society. By itself under this perspective, is reflected in this article prosperous and adverse events that women have experienced in the context of a persistently androcentric society, from its origins in pre-Conquest times, going through the colonial period, the independence movement, early years of the twentieth century and after the proclamation of the fundamental law, until the dawn of the third millennium, in some statistical data confirm that equality between women and men remains a pending matter.
