Laura Esquivel’s novel of protest against societal restrictions, Como agua para chocolate, addresses multiple issues affecting women in Mexican society, with the historical period of the Mexican Revolution, 1910 –1917, as its backdrop. ... Esquivel upholds various types of feminist ideals, especially the one embodied in Gertrudis, while criticizing the stereotypical helpless femininity displayed by Rosaura. ...
Tita epitomizes femininity and is happy and fulfilled being loved, cooking and nurturing - especially Rosaura’s children. But she is not unquestioningly accepting of injustices meted out to women in their fulfillment of this brand of femininity. ... She sees this type of femininity as utterly useless. ... Esquivel shows us that there is need for this type of femininity for the well being of all.
