"In the years I've lived I didn't imagine it," Patricia Yáñez said, reflecting on the historic election of Claudia Sheinbaum as Mexico's first woman president, symbolizing significant progress for gender parity in politics.
"It's something that we're very excited about as a Latina as a Mexican American woman in the US. I'm very excited for lots of reasons. One, it's a woman. But also, she comes from a background of science and academic," said California State Senator María Elena Durazo, highlighting the significance of Sheinbaum's election for women across borders.
Dr. Marcela Meneses Reyes remarked, "We could also understand it as an important push also from the feminist movement that in the last years has gained a lot of strength." This emphasizes the role of activism in advancing women into decision-making positions.
Broader change is necessary, as articulated by Dr. Meneses Reyes, who said, "Beyond gender, it is a culture. It is not enough for a woman to be the one to show her face and be at the forefront, it is necessary to look at her political and ideological position."
