Los derechos de la mujer y su rol que desempeña en la sociedad en la obra La Emancipada de Miguel Riofrío

Abstract

Abstract: The present essay entitled: The rights of women and their role in society in the work La Emancipada by Miguel Riofrío, was fundamentally based on analyzing through critical reading the conditions in which women were immersed in the period republican, taking into account that at this time patriarchy and machismo were common, where the female gender was considered inferior to the male. Also, it was studied how was the emancipation and the feminine position within the society, which were motivated by activist women and men with liberal ideas. Once this analysis was done, it was concluded that the woman had a passive role within society, since she was deprived of all the rights that she had as a human being, likewise she was treated as a merchandise for sale. The reason why it was decided to work with the theme of this essay is because the new generations need to know the beginnings of Ecuadorian literature and the context in which the work unfolds.
