After reading The Return to Coatlicue, Chapter 4, (p. 97-128), reflect on why there was a conflict with clans led by females and the subjugation of women. Why were heroines diminished and the masculine elements aggrandized? How did the “procession of the Aztec clans inspire gender disequilibrium as well as militarism”? Research the legends related to the Aztec pilgrimage associated with Chichimec/Aztec women warriors. How did the militarization of the Aztec tribes lead to the exploitation of women?
