Following the triumph of the revolution, Cuban leaders argued that “true sexual equality” could “be established only through socialist revolution.” Using this claim as a starting point, assess the laws, policies, and programs implemented to “address sexual inequality and difference” in the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution of 1959.1 How did the Cuban government attempt to transform the social, cultural, and economic relations between men and women? How did the state attempt to construct a revolutionary “new man” and “new woman”? Your essay should have an introduction, thesis, supporting body paragraphs, and a brief conclusion. It must incorporate supporting evidence from the assigned primary and secondary readings on the Cuban Revolution.
