migration, economy , and women

[Iris Marin]

Marcos I agree that these policies led to huge migration. I too was in awe how much women and children were a moving force in the economy. It is unfortunate how much women are viewed as second class citizens (including now) considering how much important work they do behind the scenes. In searching for the current empress, I read about the wife of an emperor not being allowed to attend her husband's enthroning (2017). Further, their daughter will not be able to "rule" because she is female.
