6. RIZAL'S LEGACY TO YOUNG FILIPINO WOMEN
“Now that you have responded to our vehement
of clamor for public welfare; now that you have
shown a good example to fellow young women,
who, like you, desire to have their eyes opened
and to lifted from their prostration, our hope is
roused, now we are confident victory. The
Filipino woman no longer bows her head and
bends her knees; her hope in the future is
revived; gone is the mother who helps keep her
daughter in the dark; who educates her in self-
contempt and moral annihilation.

7. RIZAL'S
LEGACY
TO
YOUNG
FILIPINO
WOMEN It is no longer the highest wisdom to bow the
head to every unjust order, the highest
goodness to smile at an insult, to seek solace
in humble tears, etc…etc. God gave each one
his own mind and his own conscience so that
he can distinguish between right and wrong.
All men are born without chains, free and no
one can subject the will and spirit of another.
Why would you submit to another your noble
and free thought? It is cowardice and an error
to believe that blind obedience is piety and it
is arrogance to think and reflect. Ignorance is
ignorance and not goodness and honor.

8. RIZAL'S
LEGACY
TO
YOUNG
FILIPINO
WOMEN
God, Fountain of Wisdom, does not expect
man, created in His image, to allow himself
to be fooled and blinded. The gift of
reason with which we are endowed must be
brightened and utilized. we shall not falter
if you help us. God will help us to dispel the
mist for He is the God of truth; and the
former brilliance of the Filipino woman will
be restored undiminished. She lacks
nothing but a free mind for she has an
excess of goodness.”

9. RIZAL'S
LEGACY
TO
YOUNG
FILIPINO
WOMEN
“youth is a flower-bed that is to bear
rich fruit and must accumulate wealth
for its descendants.” 
To raise children close to the image of
God; 
To awaken and prepare the mind of the
child for every good and desirable idea;
To teach children to prefer death with
honor to life with dishonor.

10. RIZAL'S LEGACY TO YOUNG FILIPINO WOMEN
The Filipino mother has to be a noble wife
She has to rear her children in the service of the
state.
A wife has to set standards of behaviour for men
around her 
3 basic things a wife must instill in the mind of her
husband : activity and industry ;noble behaviour
;worthy sentiments 
Rizal's advice to married woman: Aid her husband,
share his perils; refrain from causing him worry; and
sweeten his moments affliction.
Qualities mothers have to possess

11. RIZAL'S
LEGACY
TO
YOUNG
FILIPINO
WOMEN
 In choosing a lifetime partner, do not consider
physical beauty nor the sweetness of disposition
of a woman, but rather give priority to firmness
of character and lofty ideas.
On the other hand, Rizal counselled young
women not to surrender their womanhood to a
weak and timid heart. There are three things that
a young woman must look for a man she is going
to marry: a noble and honoured name ; a manly
heart ; a high spirit incapable of being satisfied
with engendering slaves.

12. The tyranny of some is possible only through cowardice and
negligence on the part of others.
What makes one compatible is lack of dignity and abject
fear of one who holds one in contempt.
Ignorance is servitude, because as a man thinks, so he s; a
man who does not think for himself and allows himself to
be guided by the thought of another is like beast led by a
halter,
He who loves his independence must first aid his
fellowman, because he who refuses protection to others will
find himself without it

RIZAL'S LEGACY TO YOUNG FILIPINO WOMEN

13. 5. If the Filipina will not change her ode of being, let her rear
no more children, let her merely give birth to them. She must
cease to be the mistress of the home, otherwise she will
unconsciously betray husband, child, native land and all.
6. All men are born equal, naked, without bonds. God did not
create man to be slave; nor did he endow him with intelligence
to have him hoodwinked or adorn him with reason to have him
deceived by others.
7. Consider well what kind of religion they are teaching you. See
whether it is the will of God or according to the teachings of
Christ that he poor be succored and those who suffer alleviated.
