    Rizal wrote "To the Young Women of Malolos" to address women on their roles and responsibilities as mothers, wives, and members of society. He emphasized the importance of women's education so they could think critically. Rizal argued that a woman's value came from how she contributed to Filipino identity and that a mother's character reflected the character of the nation. He also rejected the spiritual authority of corrupt friars and outlined qualities of good mothers, wives, and ways for women to evaluate potential partners. The document discusses how over time, Filipino women have lost some of these noble traits as responsibilities have shifted, but balance is important for families.

    Valdevieso, Rose To The Young Women of Malolos

    I. Background

    To the Women of Malolos was written in London, in response to the request of Marcelo

    H. del Pilar. Rizal addresses all kinds of women mothers, wives, the unmarried, etc. and

    expresses everything that he wishes them to keep in mind. He emphasized reason and supported

    the education of women so that they may be enlightened: religiousness required reason; without

    reason there was only religiosity. Rizals letter argued that womens value was contingent on

    their contribution to the Filipino identity, stressing how the character of motherhood reflected the

    character of the motherland.

    II. Highlights

    The rejection of the spiritual authority of the friars not all of the priests at that time had

    pure religious intentions because most of them were corrupted by worldly desires.

    Qualities Filipino mothers need to possess and the duties and responsibilities of the

    Filipino mothers to their children.

    Duties and responsibilities of a wife to her husband.

    To aid young women to discern in the qualities of their partner.

    III. Relevance

    Rizal depicted various noble qualities on how a woman should act at home and in the

    eyes of society. However, as time progresses, Filipino women gradually lose such traits. There

    are often times where mothers forget their roles in rearing their children because of the

    overriding idea of having to earn for the family to supplement their family. Although there is

    nothing negative about working hard for the welfare of the family, there must always be balance
    in the way people go through life. Failure in the home cannot be compensated by any amount of

    wealth or fame.
