To belong to a society, the members must first conform into an appearance, culture, and status, and agree to lose their individuality. “Society is in conspiracy of every one of its members”, was a doctrine in the transcendentalism era that was explored by Ralf Waldo Emerson. This doctrine has been proven to be true many times throughout history, active examples of the mistreatment of society to its members are women’s rights, black voting rights, and treating them like objects and criminals, along with other types of mistreatment.

The milestones for women to vote and work also shows how women were not allowed to grow into society and officially become a member of it because they were not given the opportunities. Another example of how women are not equal in society is, “She was as adventurous, as imaginative, as agog to see the world as he was. But she was not sent to school” (Woolf lines 42-43). This excerpt from Virginia Woolf’s Shakespeare’s Sister shows how even if women are the same as men with the same intelligence and the same ambition to conquer the world with their talent it will not matter because they are not given the same opportunities as men to expand their intelligence. For the purpose of this example Shakespeare’s sister which was an imagined character which was just as smart, willing to learn, and as imaginative as him but was never discovered because she was not given the opportunity to keep learning and finding connections for her name to be discovered.

What this personal anecdote from the author shows is that Latinas are looked upon as an object who are supposed to be different from every other girl and not in a good way, it also proves that society looks upon Latinas as someone to come and go and not for what they truly
