Hello classmates :

Today, I´m going to talk about to a greatest Chilean all the times. She was Elena Caffarena. This woman was a lawyer, jurist and Chilean politics.  She did a lot of social interventions especially in favor of the labor movement.  She was defending the human rights `workers to appeal dignity.  I think that the relevant of this woman was promoted the feminism in our country, in this sense, was a pioneer in this area.  

She was positioned in a social class privileged, for this reason, she didn’t needed an extra economic support, and was unnecessary study a career because her future husband to keep them. However she chose study law in University of Chile, although her family opposes this.

In 1926 She graduate, and immediately found a job linked to social area. Started with worker schools and culminate with the most important deed: the creation of MEMCH (Pro-Emancipation Movement of Women of Chile) in 1935. This deed was created in joint with Olga Poblete. It was the first women's organization politic towards their demands. This can be summarizing in the economic, political and biological emancipation women.

For this time the women was consigning to depend the father or brother, this is a men.  And didn’t had right to vote. The woman was considered a lower human.  Before this background, Elena decided to act and worked in promoted the female vote so much national and local elections.  I believe that her deeds were important because contributed to integrate the women opinion in the public discussion and of course allowed grow up the country.

If I would to meet Elena Caffarena, I would ask: which are the consequences, and in that measure, to involve that fight’ causes in the personal life?  This question looks simply, but is complex, more over if we thought about the persons who promote an idea, to feel emotions and experiment success and failures.

This all for today, thanks for comments.
