I found this to be an interesting and educational overview of the history of Mexico, focusing pretty much completely on the politics, power and wars. Insight into the way people lived, thought, worked farmed and religion et cetera were quite sparse.

Nice overview of Mexican history of power and politics

It seems that I did not adore this audible as much as others, but I still believe that it is an audible worth listening to.

I had never heard of many of these women, and I learned a lot. It was interesting and inspiring.

But ... I didn't like the style so much, as if each person spoke directly to the listener, inviting you to come in, to sit down. That would be interesting for two or three stories, but after many stories in a similar style, it started to be repetitive and unnatural. Also, most of the voices sounded very similar. I couldn't forget that I was listening to an audiobook, and I think the best audibles take you to the middle of the story and make you forget that you are listening.

Also, this is difficult to explain, especially in a language that is not my native language, but ... audibles like this one, that talk a lot about how women are important and women are smart and women can do what men can do ... sometimes these audiobooks have the opposite effect of the goal. Of course, women are important and clever and capable. Focusing on this so much, as if it were new information, sometimes it seems like a step backward. But, maybe I'm too sensitive. I think an audiobook like this would be more powerful if it focused more on the interesting details of their extraordinary lives, giving us unforgettable stories. We would understand the subtle message that women are important and clever and capable without the sermon. But ... that's just my opinion.

It is interesting, with many important and admirable figures. I recommend that you read slowly, one story at a time. Maybe the problems I mentioned would go away.

Beautiful audiobook

What a protracted attempt the 'revolution' was: with a fairly rapid sequence of conflicts and administrators.
Obviously, all driven by excessive male egos, and a soupçon of belief. Hourly History wraps it all up into a neat audible.

Interesting Content to listen.

Well recorded, accurate, and scanty - nearly too concise. All the people who made up the history spread composed of were very well planned and their assistance given their due value.

Excellent Summary
