Although American educated, Brenner's work demonstrates the profound influence that the Mexican Revolution has had on shaping her thinking and outlook on society. Her fundamental belief was that the revolution was inevitable due to the way the land owners and politicians were controlling the country. Thus, her sympathy was with the revolutionaries. (Ugalde, 2007).
Her most significant books, which included such titles as Idols Behind Altars and the Wind that Swept Mexico, were all set within the Mexican Revolution. During this period, she also wrote a great deal about the Mexican culture, particularly art culture, that developed as a result of the Mexican Revolution. According to Brenner, this period of her work is known as the "Mexican Renaissance." (Ugalde, 2007).

Much of the cause for the Mexican Revolution's far reaching effects can be attributed to a combination of the social climate of that era and the association and adoption of its fundamental ideals by liberal and prominent females.

Huerta was very successful in helping Madero defeat Orozco's rebellion, eventually driving Orozco into the United States. However, Madero did not show the type of respect or appreciation that Huerta was expecting for his victory. On the contrary, Madero asked Huerta to account for campaign money. It was this slight that inspired Huerta to work against Madero. Of course, that slight alone would probably not have been sufficient to inspire
Female Revolutionaries on the political battleground provided women with power and respect in terms of their mental skills as well. As seen above, women were able to operate on the basis of their accepted roles as caregivers and teachers in order to assume new, more unorthodox tasks for the purpose of the Revolution. The most radical and prominent departure from the traditional role of the Mexican woman was that of
This fearlessness is exemplary in the increasing awareness of all women; even those who appeared disassociated from the Revolution itself. Stephanie J. Smith (1), for example, mentions specific women from very different social backgrounds. These women became aware of new opportunities to obtain better lives by means of the judicial system. In addition, even the simplest of these persons demonstrated their considerable, although latent, intellectual prowess by arguing their

Mexican Government Diaz, Villa and Zapata's Ideas of Government and the Individual: Similarities and Dissimilarities Government in many areas of the world has changed from one in which the people are the vassals of the government to one in which the government is the servant of the people. Individuals form societies because they have a selfish need for protection, and they form governments for that purpose. Unfortunately, those governments sometimes abuse their power
