why did rizal encourage women to follow the example of spartan women?
Answer (1)
Rizal admired Spartan women because they were brave, educated, and patriotic. He encouraged Filipino women to be like them—strong in character, willing to defend truth, and not afraid to speak out. In his “Letter to the Young Women of Malolos,” he said women should not be just obedient, but wise and courageous so they can raise strong children and help build the nation.
