The Filipino Woman: Cory and Leonor, Gabriela and Imelda

      I really liked reading this article.  It shows all the different things that a woman is faced with and the ways they can react.  Leonor was a woman who did what she was told even if it meant that she would give up happiness.  Cory was a woman who was not afraid to step completely out of her comfort zone to free her nation.  Gabriela, similar to Cory, was also a woman led, but she led in a different way.  She did something that men would think was an incapability of women.  She actually led an army. Imelda was a woman who harbored off her husband to support the arts.  An observation I made was that, among all of the examples the author made, Imelda was the only one with a husband that she loved by her side.  I liked this article because I could find a little inspiration in all of them.  Leonor in her willingness to sacrifice, Cory in her doing that is right even if it was something not in her line of work, Gabriela in her courage, and Imelda in finding power for herself.  Really, I know that a woman is capable of great things and so, I am proud to be a Filipino woman.
