Her signature appeared in important Cuban newspapers and magazines such as <em>El Pa\u00eds, Exc\u00e9lsior, El Mundo, Diario de la Marina,<\/em> <em>El Heraldo<\/em> \u2015in which she promoted a section to respond to readers\u2015, <em>Avance<\/em>, <em>Prensa Libre<\/em>, <em>El Sol<\/em>, <em>Informaci\u00f3n<\/em>, <em>Social<\/em>, <em>Orto<\/em>, <em>Carteles<\/em> and <em>Bohemia<\/em>. She also collaborated with publications from outside the island and was a radio commentator on the CMQ station.<\/p>\n<p>Founder in 1938 of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UEAC) and delegate to the Constituent Assembly two years later, she became minister without portfolio in the cabinets of the authentic governments of Ram\u00f3n Grau San Mart\u00edn and Carlos Pr\u00edo Socarr\u00e1s, becoming the first Cuban woman to hold such a high government position.<\/p>\n<p>Opposed to the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, she supported the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro and until her last days he insisted on exalting the role of women in society. As an example of her thinking and writing \u2015which, according to the scholars of her work, was characterized by a direct and pleasant style\u2015 I leave you with fragments of her text \u201cFeminismo revolucionario,\u201d in which she analyzes the scenario of women\u2019s struggles in the first decades of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>Let it serve, in addition, not only as an evocation of one of the great Cuban journalists, but also as a tribute to all women on March 8, when their day is celebrated worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Feminismo revolucionario (Excerpts)*<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most interesting aspects of feminism is the one that places two social classes face to face: the rich and the poor, the exploiting and the exploited, the one that enjoys all the comforts of life without <em>producing<\/em>, and the one that, <em>producing<\/em>, lacks the most elementary resources of health, comfort, culture and well-being in life. Indeed, the following question may be asked: is it more in the interest of working women to form, in the sector itself or as a separate sector, a single front of action with working men, than joining the ranks of active feminism, the latter limited to the struggle to obtain all the civil, legal and political rights that men <em>still<\/em> deny women?<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, the sociologist can never approach feminism as a global problem, disconnected from other collective legal, moral, political, or economic problems, much less, as <em>a single problem<\/em> where the different needs of different women\u2019s groups have the same solution. It is obvious that the problem of the working woman is not the same as that of the society woman \u2015the same class struggle between men, is present among women. Thus, it seems clear that although for the conquest of certain civil rights of a legal nature it\u2019s OK for all women to form a single large front of action, however, when it comes to political or economic issues, they must join the men who are in the same condition. A viable formula: against men, when men are the masters. Together with men, when men are, like us, slaves struggling to conquer their independence. Against men, if men, as such, claim the persistence of an alcove feminism, purely sexual, full of morbidness, humiliating and sterile. Together with men, if men, penetrated by the painful reality of the exploitation of work, stand up against their exploiters, struggling to open the path to the \u201cfuture without geographies\u201d prophesied by Lenin.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the feminist movement is fundamentally revolutionary. We women, by rebelling against an established order of things, form on the left of a social process of incalculable transcendence, we have repeated time and again that we do not want <em>emancipation<\/em> as a synonym for <em>licentiousness<\/em>, but claim rights that we know are responsible for us to a great extent. More than men, because we suffer with greater intensity than them the consequences, we women rebel against a social structure overshadowed by falsehoods. We are tired of vegetating, lacking in personality, far from life. We modify, without distorting it, the Marxist theory of historical materialism, because women, wherever we fight \u2014in school, the workshop, in the factory, in our own home\u2014 provide the invaluable gift of our great gentle spirit. A gentleness that does not exclude courage, gentleness that does not go hand in hand with humiliation. More than gentleness, we could say <em>materialism<\/em>. Each woman is a female in essence and a potential mother, although current living conditions strangle and distort the sense of motherhood. By incorporating ourselves slowly, but decidedly, into the activities of political life, of public life, we provide a wealth of pure ideals, of generous yearnings, of nobility of view, of enthusiasm for all that means collective improvement. We also contribute, that faculty that is increasingly rare among men \u2014perhaps for having exercised it for so long without apparent practical result: the power of <em>indignation<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Just as you can be a woman and practice civics, you can be a woman, very woman, and feel the whip of indignation. Life offers us multiple occasions to be indignant! First, it is our home, <em>that<\/em> which we generally call <em>our home<\/em>, where women are nothing more than poor things without soul and without conscience governed by father, husband, brother and even the son himself. On more than one occasion I have pronounced myself against that false \u201cstability\u201d of homes, proclaimed in the name of the rotten social morality. There can be no stability where there is a master who commands \u2014he who is also unhappy, because he neither understands nor is understood, because he neither esteems nor feels esteemed\u2014 and a slave who serves\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>The feminist struggle comprises three aspects: the economic aspect, the moral aspect, the political aspect. The problem of women&#8217;s work entails enormous importance. In Cuba, society becomes impoverished, largely due to the iniquitous exploitation of working women. Where they are least exploited is in the offices of the State, but even there they are not properly paid for their work. In commercial establishments, exploitation sometimes reaches the highest level. Few of them pay them well&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Biology, according to one of its most illustrious panegyrists, Dr. Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n, will continue to consider work as a normal function corresponding to the male&#8230;. And, sometimes, the most eminent biologists are far from being medium psychologists. They know the smallest piece of the human mechanism, and its wonderful gear. But they fail to penetrate the essence of the spiritual electricity that moves it. About women, the biologists know that we are naturally fit for reproduction, that the very high mission of conserving the species is entrusted to us. But of our spiritual life, of the needs of our state of mind, of the power of our thinking, they know very little, because not because they are scientists do they cease to be men, and men very rarely stop worrying preferably about the mechanical female.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Revolutionary? Yes! We Latin American feminists are revolutionary! We are revolutionary because we are women, because we are mothers, that is, because aware of our historical responsibility, we eradicate in ourselves the feminine, the humiliating resignation, the infamous passivity in the face of the empire of evil on earth! Women, <em>let\u2019s get down to it, that the reddish glow of a not distant dawn illuminates our victory!<\/em> With us, free and strong, the men and women of the day after tomorrow. Against us, sullen and somber, the reactionary spirits, the cowardly exploiters of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>* Excerpts taken from the <a href=\"https:\/\/asambleafeminista.wordpress.com\/2015\/02\/03\/feminismo-revolucionario-fragmentos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog <em>Asamblea Feminista<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although less known \u2015and recognized\u2015than their male colleagues, several women have made history within the Cuban press.
