| Abstract (English): | The female contribution has been fundamental for the successful development of Mexican taekwondo, not only in its competitive contribution, but also in its popularization and teaching. However, things were not easy for the young women who in the 1970s and 1980s began to practice this discipline, since they had to overcome the historical inequality related to the sex- gender system, machismo and the lack of sports support, factors that slowed down --although they did not stop-- their martial and sports development. This article reconstructs the beginnings of taekwondo practice of six women, most of them members of the Moo Duk Kwan organization, and the difficulties they faced in their sport practice. The text begins with a brief introduction in which the objectives, hypotheses, a brief state of the question and the methodology used are presented, and then some changes in the lives of women in Mexico City at the end of the 1960s. It then focuses on the experiences of six Mexican taekwondo pioneers. Finally, some brief final considerations are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | La contribución femenina ha sido fundamental para el desarrollo exitoso del taekwondo mexicano, no solo en el aporte competitivo, sino también en su popularización y enseñanza. Sin embargo, las cosas no fueron sencillas para las jóvenes que en las décadas de 1970 y 1980 incursionaron en la práctica de esta disciplina, ya que tuvieron que sortear la desigualdad histórica relacionada con el sistema sexo-género, el machismo y la falta de apoyo deportivo, factores que frenaron --aunque no detuvieron-- su desarrollo marcial y deportivo. Este artículo reconstruye los inicios de la práctica de taekwondo de seis mujeres, la gran mayoría de ellas integrantes de la organización Moo Duk Kwan en ese momento, y las dificultades que enfrentaron en su práctica deportiva. El texto comienza con una breve introducción en la que se plantean objetivos, hipótesis, un breve estado de la cuestión y la metodología empleada, para después exponer algunos cambios en la vida de las mujeres de la Ciudad de México al final de la década de 1960. A continuación se enfoca en las experiencias de seis pioneras del taekwondo mexicano. Por último, se presentan unas breves consideraciones finales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Portuguese): | A contribuição feminina tem sido fundamental para o desenvolvimento bem-sucedido do taekwondo mexicano, não só na sua contribuição competitiva, mas também na sua popularização e ensino. No entanto, as coisas não foram fáceis para as jovens que, nas décadas de 1970 e 1980, começaram a praticar esta disciplina, pois tiveram de superar a desigualdade histórica relacionada com o sistema de género, o machismo e a falta de apoio desportivo, fatores que retardaram -- embora não tenham impedido -- o seu desenvolvimento marcial e desportivo. Este artigo reconstrói os primórdios da prática do taekwondo por seis mulheres, a maioria delas membros da organização Moo Duk Kwan, e as dificuldades que enfrentaram na sua prática desportiva. O texto começa com uma breve introdução na qual são apresentados os objetivos, hipóteses, um breve estado da questão e a metodologia utilizada, e em seguida algumas mudanças na vida das mulheres na Cidade do México no final da década de 1960. Em seguida, centra-se nas experiências de seis pioneiras mexicanas do taekwondo. Por fim, são apresentadas algumas breves considerações finais. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
