This illustration wants to celebrate women , and specifically Mexican women, raised in a strong machismo culture. Despite this, history talks about Mexicans, who were slaughtered and killed by conquers , as a woman who was metaphorically raped by Spanish soldiers when they arrived in the 16th century. This work creates a bridge between women today and the past of their country. The protagonist here takes inspiration from the teuantepec culture, a pre-Hispanic population based in the south of Mexico, where there is not a patriarchal system, but a matriarchal one. This image celebrates the strength of Mexican women and puts the accent on the oppressive condition of the present day.
