Women in Current Cuba: A Balance between Gains Made and Continuing Challenges

Abstract

In this analysis, it highlights some significant achievements of a diverse character in various areas of women participation in Cuba, but these successes should be assessed through the prism of continuing and stubborn persistence of traditional gender patterns with a specific focus on the female gender. The impact of traditional ideology is strong and its effects are unfavorable, but, on balance, a positive situation prevails. In short, the Cuban woman continues to develop her social participation with her full creative force allowing her to transform herself while striving for the continuance and further development of the achievements and values of her society.
