Explanation:

Esquivel heralds from a society where gender roles are well defined. Men always value their ego, even sometimes become violent and aggressive because of it. On the contrary, women are expected to be caretakers of the family, submissive and obedient.

During the cultural revolution of the 1960s, she rejected those values and the duties with pertaining to the home. She latter got married and realised the values learned "at the hearth" which can not be made useless.

She discovered that there is a need for balance between genders, reason and emotion. She hopes for a "New Man" that would embody this balance.
