I took this picture on December 20th, 2019 in the “Festival of Chinese Lights”. This festival was in “Parque de la Familia”, Santiago. In the picture appears one of the lights that the festival have. I like this picture because it was a nice experience and all the lights were amazing and they seen so beautiful at night. I went with my boyfriend to the festival and we have a great time seeing the lights, eating the food and taking pictures. All the festival was great and pretty. Also, at the festival there were people on stage doing tradional Chinese dances. I would like to learn more about Chinese culture, because I found very interesting the diversity of tradición and festivities this culture have. If in the future this festival return to Santiago, I would like to go again, because is a nice, beautufil and amazing experience.    

Julieta Kirkwood was a chilean sociologist, political scientist and considered one of the promoters of the feminist movement in Chile. She was born on April 5, 1936 in Santiago, Chile and died on April 8, 1985 in Santiago, Chile. She has done a lot of interesting research and work about the woman and gender from a feminist perspective. Her most famous books are: “Ser política en Chile: las feministas y los partidos”, “Tejiendo rebeldías" y “Feminarios”. What I find interesting and I like about her is the way she study gender issues through sociology. Also, she go deeper into the social senses of the feminine woman, her identity and her connection with the structures of domination that exist in the chilean society and its institutions. I found about her this year, in first semestre in the subject "Introduction to sociology". I think is very important to know about more woman in social sciences because in this area men and their studies have more recognition than women&#
