The Feminist Awakening That Began in Kindergarten
My feminism was born in early childhood, sparked by witnessing my mother's vulnerability after my father abandoned us in Peru. Returning to my grandparents' home in Chile, I observed how my beautiful young mother had no marketable skills, no money, no freedom, and faced constant gossip for being separated. This ignited my lifelong rage against machismo and passion for justice. While my brothers could run wild, start fights, and talk back-behaviors celebrated as natural masculine spirit-my similar actions were deemed dangerous. By age six, I was expelled from Catholic school for questioning why girls couldn't be altar servers-a pattern of challenging authority that would define my life. My grandfather Agustin, though a traditional patriarch, surprisingly understood women's disadvantages. During our walks through Santiago's parks, he taught me self-reliance: "Be independent, because no one else will fight your battles." He instilled his stoic philosophy: avoid ostentation, don't complain, help others without boasting. My mother Panchita, scarred by her experiences, warned that my feminist ideas would prevent marriage, repeating: "Men don't like women who think too much." While she believed the patriarchal world was unchangeable, my reading convinced me humanity evolves through struggle. I identified with the "transitional generation" between mothers and daughters that propelled feminism forward-we refused to accept our mothers' resignation.
