The status of the Cuban woman under the test of a chauvinist society

The woman's condition is often badly perceived all over the world. Much of them are oppressed even in developed countries. This problem would result from machismo. In all countries, the lack of education, the affiliation of a religion and the ancestral traditions make men some real macho. They have difficulties in respecting women and treat them like a vulgar domestic. In a large number of countries, this situation does not evolve and it entices women into taking care of themselves. Feminism helped them to fight against these atrocities and find confidence in themselves. It had a good effect on the woman's condition in the world and we'll see what it brought to them. Many women were seduced by this movement, which wanted to give to the woman her real value and her position in the society. Now the woman condition is better than before but they run against terrible injustices either in the work place, in politics or in their day to day life. The European woman study more and holds qualified positions but despite everything, she runs against terrible injustices as regards to the pay or a lack of evolution in their position. Now in Europe, they assert that they will defend the women's condition but is it really ? The Latin American women had to fight in order to change their image. This continent is known for its machismo and to be a woman is a daily struggle. But what did feminism bright really on this continent where the man lays down the law ? In Cuba, femisnism exists for a long time, but the triumph of the Revolution changed a lot of things. It incorporates them into the society. We'll see that there are consequences in their family life and their conditions of life.
