TO THE YOUNG WOMEN OF MALOLOS

                  

To the young woman of Malolos is an essay written by Jose Rrizal while he was in London upon the request of Marcelo H. Del Pilar. 
The yellow roses symbolist a love, purity and peace to the woman of Malolos. They also show education is important to each person. And all filipinos have a hidden talent and ability to raise the living. 

• Rizal pays homage to 20 women of Malolos who desire to educate themselves

• In this way, Rizal sees in these women ray of hope in restoring the Filipino woman’s dignity and worth

• Rizal emphasizes the importance of Filipino mothers

• Rizal refers to different women in society; mothers of daughters wives and even the unmarried ones. Mothers responsibility according to Rizal : Whatever the mother shows to her children is what the children will also become.

FILIPINO MOTHERS SHOULD:

Teach their children to love God, country and fellowman.
Honored to offer their sons in defense to their country.
Protect their dignity and honor.
Educate themselves.
Live the real Christian way with good moral and manners.
