The Mexicans were tired of being ruled by President Diaz. The people united together from all social classes; they finally came together because they had an enemy in common. Some of the factors were poor working conditions, inflations, low wages, bad housing, and deficient social services. The lower and working class had the worst injustices that had to revolt in order to have a chance of a better life. The middle and upper class were also dissatisfied with the President Diaz was ruling. There were no specific genders that were against the President everyone was standing up voicing their opinion: men, women, young adults, and children were fighting for their rights. .
Mexican women constantly lived in the male shadow, they were expected to have family life, marriage, and education which was never a priority for women, their duty was to stay home. Other discriminations were ethnic, political, economic, and religious. This is one of the reasons that many women like Gutierrez, were no longer interested in keeping Diaz in office, and were voicing their opinions however it was possible. It grew into a widespread rebellion that would eventually change the structure of Mexico's economy, government, and society. .
Various revolutionary leaders and groups pursued different goals during and immediately after the revolution.
