Well said Master Jose Marti: "this Cuban woman, so beautiful, so heroic, so selfless, flower to love, star to look at, armor to resist", because they are our companions, loving mothers, daughters of sacrifice and love, Those that make our lives more pleasant, those that do not ask for anything in exchange for dignity.
In Cuba, it was from January of the 59th that the woman occupied the highest place, thousands of them joined the great work of the Revolution: cane fields, coffee plantations, schools, factories, children's circles, neighborhoods and cities were witnesses of the outstanding labor of our women, present everywhere in the leading tasks of the Revolution.
In the municipality of Calixto García they constitute progress: hundreds of them are in services and production, others hold first-level positions in the departments of Statistics, Basic Electrical Unit, Public Health, Communals, Post Office, National Office of Tax Administration, Finance and Prices, the Construction Company of Popular Power, Municipal Government, Red Cross, and in political and mass organizations.
And you wonder, what has happened in a territory where before 1959 only a few could read and write and women had few options of work, almost always in agricultural labors?
Citing the leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro, "the woman is a revolution within the Revolution", that's why the sun shone that gave us a new day, and the night went on starting from January of Victory, and although they are Nowadays the advance, it is still necessary to take away of the prejudices that bind the happy flight of our companions, and to keep in mind the José Marti’s apothegm that, much men must do to deserve these women, much must be done to please The country that contemplates them. "We men must do much to deserve these women; They have much to do to please the country that contemplates them”.
