"Mexico Poised for Historic Election of First Female President Amidst Challenges"

Elena Poniatowska, a renowned 92-year-old Mexican writer and feminist, reflects on the historic likelihood of Mexico electing its first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum or Xóchitl Gálvez. Poniatowska, who has long chronicled women's struggles and triumphs, views this milestone as a natural progression of hard-fought feminist efforts, including achieving gender parity in Congress and pushing for constitutional amendments. She finds personal gratification in this "women's triumph," which she believes is a testament to women's resilience and capability.
