 Try to make sense of it
 The autobiography tells about the lifestyle of Gregoria
de jesus as the “Mother of the Philippine Revolution”.
 The Philippine Revolution was the work of both Filipino
men and women. Women - such as, Melchora Aquino
(Tandang Sora) who risked her life feeding and
sheltering revolutionists, and Teresa Magbanua
(Generala Isay) of Iloilo, Generala Agueda Kahabangan
of Laguna and Batangas, Gregoria de Jesus of
Kalookan, and Trinidad Tecson of Bulakan who fought on
the battlefields as bravely as the men-- greatly
advanced the cause of the Revolution and were also
revolutionary leaders who are deserving of public
recognition.
 Use it as historical evidence
 Gregoria was very brave back then and until now
women can do anything what men can. Even if they
don’t have the physical capabilities as men, they have
the courage the to offer to be as equal.
