From the seventeenth century through the twentieth century, women were limited and restricted from communicating in a man-centric framework that for the most part would not allow legitimacy to a woman’s perspectives. Social and political reforms during these hundreds of years brought attention to various issues affecting women. These issues included women being denied the right to an education and not being able to possess anything or even having an opinion of their own. The social structure constrained a woman’s involvement in anything other than practical domestic pursuits to commit to the amelioration of the family, more particularly for the husband. As time passed by, the most valiant females decided to take a stand to propel for their political and social rights. These two specific women from Mexico, living in two different centuries, were finding ways to break through these restrictions. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, who was a nun and a poet from Mexico, is one of those women that helped break through gender orientation impediments. During the Hispanic Baroque, she was considered to be an extraordinary writer. She was also seen as a role model for women during the Latin American colonial period. Being a writer and spreading knowledge or even obtaining knowledge as a woman during the time period of her life was a reach due to being the inferior gender and having restrictions placed on what she could and could not do. The other woman was Frida Kahlo, who was a painter from Mexico known for her folk art and self-portraits. She was a woman, feminist, and artist that held a certain sense of masculinity within her. Frida Kahlo was rebellious towards the gender roles and it is shown through her work and her lifestyle. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was a poet and a scholar that did extraordinary things in the 17th century for the purpose of being able to obtain an education. It is amazing how these two women, who had never met each other yet lived in the same country, did something contrary to what was expected from female figures during these time periods to disintegrate the gender roles. So, therefore, to what extent did Sor Juana Inés de La Cruz and Frida Kahlo repudiate the socialist gender ideology in the 17th and the 20th century?
