 To the Young
Women of Malolos
 To the Young Women
of Malolos
– It was originally written in Tagalog.
– He wrote this when he was in London, in response to
the request of Marcelo H. del Pilar
Prominent points in the letter
contained:

1. The rejection of the spiritual authority of the friars:

– not all of the priest in the country that time embodied the true spirit of
Christ and His church. Most of them were corrupted by worldly desires
and used worldly methods to effect change and force discipline among
the people.
2. The defense of private judgment.
3. Qualities Filipino mothers need to possess:
– as evidenced by this portion of his letter, Rizal is greatly concerned of
the welfare of the Filipino children and the homes they grown up in.
4. Duties and responsibilities of Filipino mothers to their children.

5. Duties and responsibilities of a wife to her husband:

– Filipino women are known to be submissive, tender and loving. Rizal states
in this portion of his letter how Filipino women ought to be as wives, in order
to preserve the identity of the race.

6. Counsel to young women on their choice of a lifetime partner.

 To the Young Women of Malolos
Analysis: Zaide, 1999

– Filipino mothers should teach their children love of God, country and fellowmen.
–
– Filipino mothers should be glad and honored, like Spartan mothers, to offer their sons in
defense of their country.
–
– Filipino women should know how to protect their dignity and honor.
–
– Filipino women should educate themselves aside from retaining their good racial values.
–
– Faith is not merely reciting prayers and wearing religious pictures. It is living the real
Christianity way with good morals and manners.
2 Types of History that Rizal
highlighted in Sucesos:

–History of the Place

–History of the people that lived
in a place
Annotation of Rizal
