Conversely, Spanish-Mexican women retained control of their land after marriage and held one-half interest in the community property they shared with their spouses.Īs I tell my students, imagine you are a woman on the Illinois prairie, the only child of a prosperous farmer. Under English common law, women, when they married, became feme covert (effectively dead in the eyes of the legal system) and thus unable to own property separately from their husbands. Under colonial Spain and newly independent Mexico, married women living in the borderlands of what is now the American Southwest had certain legal advantages not afforded their European-American peers. Virginia Scharff is distinguished professor of history at the University of New Mexico. But here in the West, women continue to lag behind men in too many areas to declare the “Woman Problem” solved. We’ve got women in public offices and CEO suites throughout the region. Is the West still a land of opportunity for women? I’d say it’s more a land of contradictions. The West was the first home of women’s suffrage in the U.S., with nearly every western state or territory enfranchising women long before women won the right to vote in eastern states.

Wyoming Territory passed a series of such laws in 1869, partly in an effort to attract more white settlement, which, of course, was also intended to unsettle indigenous people. In the years after the Civil War, those women found plenty of opportunities in the West that were not available in the East: everything from the right to vote to equal pay for women teachers to more liberal divorce laws.

and from across the globe, particularly in the 19th century. So we’re really talking about those recent immigrants who came from the eastern U.S. With the advent of European contact, Spanish and Mexican and indigenous women lived in-and came from-all directions. Let’s begin with one of those invisible, obvious facts of history: Women had been living in what became “the West” centuries before anyone arrived from “back East.” We have plenty of evidence of the ways they claimed homes and made communities, from the remnants of the Cahokia Mounds to the majestic ruins of Pueblo Bonito at Chaco Canyon, where archaeologist Patricia Crown has found evidence of chocolate and macaws from the 12th century.

(so another great moment for people of my age, born in the late 70's) I recommend this movie to ANYONE, but watch BTTF(the first movie) first, because you can't watch part 2 or 3 without watching it in the right sequence.A land of contradictions as well as opportunity - Virginia Scharff But almost 20 years is also a (another) great movie to see what the 80's were all about. Of course Spielberg never intended to have more ingredients then the past (50's), the present and the future. )but the thing is, I KNOW that there are mistakes (like reflections in window glass) but this movie keeps your mind drifting away, enchanted by the great story and great moments. I have seen this movie over a dozen times, and I tried to find things that don't match, movie mistakes etc. Of has been almost two decades since this movie came out, and now we know that the future that is shown in BTTF 2 is a bit funny, but hey.do you remember Total Recall? Now THAT is also a future that would never see daylight, but at least the BTTF 2 future is amusing. I personally like the 50's stuff in it, but I am also a huge 80's fan (the present in the movie) and the future is just hilarious. It has all the ingredients to please all audience of any age. As a huge BTTF fan, I have to admit that this is the best BTTF flick ever made.
