(Summary and Analysis)
• He addresses all kinds of women-
mothers, wives, the unmarried etc. and
expresses everything that he wishes
them to keep in mind.
 Summary:
• It was written originally in Tagalog.
• He penned his writing when he was in
London, in response to the request of
Marcelo H. Del Pilar. The salient points
contained in his letter are as follows.
 The Letter contain as follows:
• The rejection of the spiritual authority of the friars- not all the
priests in the country that time embodied the true spirit of
Christ and His church.
• The defense of private judgment
• Qualities of 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 grow up in.
• Duties and responsibilities of Filipino mothers to their children.
• Duties and responsibilities of wife to her husband- Filipino
women are known to be submissive, tender, and loving. In
order to preserve the identity of the race.
• Counsel to young women on their choice of a lifetime partner.
 Analysis: Five Salient Points
1. Filipino mothers should teach their children love of God.
2. Filipino mothers should be glad and honored, like
Spartan mothers, to offer their sons in defense of their
country.
3. Filipino women should know how to protect their dignity
and honor.
4. Filipino women should educate themselves aside from
retaining their good racial values.
5. Faith is not merely reciting prayers and wearing religious
pictures. It is living the real Christian way with good
morals and manners.
