Abstract:

This research delves into two interconnected themes: feminism and the Cuban Revolution, analyzing their historical contexts, current status, and implications. Beginning with an exploration of feminism, it provides definitions, historical trajectories, and contemporary manifestations. Transitioning to the Cuban Revolution, the study investigates its causes, main events, and consequential impacts on society. Further, it examines social movements within Cuba, elucidating the intricate fabric of activism and change. The practical component of the research focuses on the period following the revolution, particularly the years 1959-1962, analyzing governmental support for women and their incorporation into the workforce. It investigates gaps in women's rights, educational levels, and re-realization of goals and objectives. Methodologically, the study employs an interview process, employing probing methods and multiple interviews to gather comprehensive data. Results and discussions highlight insights gleaned from these interviews, providing nuanced perspectives on the experiences and challenges faced by women in post-revolutionary Cuba. Overall, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of feminism, the Cuban Revolution, and the socio-economic dynamics shaping women's lives in Cuba.
