A women as writers

We know the story: women have long held so-called positions of power, as babaylan or memory keepers and storytellers, or as writers similar to the Hanunuo Mangyan poets who wrote their ambitions on bamboo. When colonialism and its patriarchal structure came, ruled by the mortal king and the man-God, women were stripped of all power and confined, in a sense, to their homes. \

Here it became his duty to take care of men as mothers, sisters, wives or children who would marry another man to further enrich or strengthen the father's political power.

 don't know if you studied it in class, but nineteenth-century artists fit in embroidery, or in the case of Adelaide Pattero, using their hair, using bodygones (still alive), or drawing. They do landscaping. And these works are not considered fine art, on the contrary, for example, the works of Moon and Hidalgo. 

It was thought to be just a home decoration as well as a tablecloth or curtain. Like women artists, this house served as a site of power and rebellion for women writers of the 19th century. One such writer is Leona Florentino of Vigan.

Although she did not publish her works in her lifetime, she is best known as a poet in Ilocos. She called on her progressive son, labor leader Isabello de los Reyes, to exhibit her works at the 1899 Paris Exhibition and to be inducted into the International Library of Works for Women. De Los Reyes estimates that if his mother collected the work, it would last up to 10 volumes. But since Florentino did not hide his poems, he collected only 22 poems. We all know he's a city poet, isn't he? His countrymen assign him to write poems for weddings or birthdays.

She came from a wealthy family but received no formal education and soon married the man her parents had chosen for her. But Elias de los Reyes is a drunk and, according to Leona, his brain is weak. 

When does his wife choose him: me or your clutch? Of course I chose the masonry. He and his sister took care of his child (because his wife and their family did not want to leave the child with them) and lived alone in a house on the mountain. There he died of tuberculosis at the age of 35.

Magdalena Jalandoni is from Jaro. When he was only 10 years old, he was already writing a corridor for sale on the market for 5 cents. "He makes a living by buying dolls for diorama. He wrote his first novel at the age of 15 and continued to write until his death. He is one of the most amazing novelists in the Philippines. He has written 24 complete novels serialized in a weekly magazine. She refused to study and get married. He said he would also marry a writer. And he should be a great writer". He said the first test for his lover was whether he could write a good novel. In his opinion, only Rizal did this.

It is rumored that Leona is gay, but I also think Magdalene is gay. He said that he once wrote a passionate love poem called Lily. His mother was very angry with him. Magdalene was even more angry when she joined the franchise group gathered in the square. 

So, in Magdalene's relationship with her mother, we see how mothers pass on patriarchal values to their children. "Her death did not get much comment outside Iloilo, as she did not belong to any literary school, she was unknown to readers in English or Piliano, she was not interested in organizations, and for writing workshops, such The concept behind the ideas. Must have distraught him, and there was no literary restraint to rely on him ”(Feria, 1991). And yet he actually lived like a writer.

When American colonists stepped in, the status of women changed again as they were given more opportunities to participate in outdoor public life. 

A special example of this place are classrooms, schools. There we see Paz Mendoza-Guzón, one of the first doctors of medicine, suffix and author; In 1912, he graduated with a liberal arts degree, Paz Marquez-Benitez, author of Dead Stars and Carnival Queen. 

There is also Encarnacion Al Arizona, the first Filipina to graduate (in history from Columbia University in 1923).

It has to do with the entry of English into our consciousness. For women, English served as an equalizer as they were accompanied by male classmates learning the new language. I think the main start is the same. Authors have exposed Anglo-American literature, but they have distanced or alienated from local language traditions. Learning English is associated with wealth, university studies that allow for professional employment, and foreign travel (such as retirement). A new world of writing has been developed through the English language. 

These include Academia, Edith Tympo, and similar creative writing workshops started by the publication. Self-publishing has always been prevalent, ever since. Hanunoo poets today have recorded the dichotomy of their bamboo in the saddles of various collectors.

Since the early 1990s, women have also become a leading business and educational pressure, and more women's articles on women's experiences have been published. Of course, there are also foreign publishing houses published by Ninotka Rosa, Jessica Heddorn, Gina Apostol, Eileen Tabios and others. And not to mention the newspapers and magazines that still publish articles, serial novels and comics written by women. In the local language, female writers have also made significant contributions to radio and television drama.
