Why is Rizal's letter to the women of Malolos still significant for today's Filipino feminists?​

Sagot :

Answer:

As we end Women’s Month, we revisit Carmen Guerrero Nakpil’s illuminating essay that gives context to the intense reaction met by the brave act of a group of young women in 1889 Philippines

Explanation:

As revolutionary rhetoric, the letter shared in the high-minded preachiness of ‘La Solidaridad,’ the fortnightly newspaper of the Filipino expatriates in Barcelona. It throbbed with the anti-clericalism of ‘La Vision de Fray Rodriguez’ and the progressiveness of ‘Por Telefono’, two essays which Rizal wrote during the same period of propagandist ferment.
