Martha Fernal Challenges

A couple of challenges that Martha Bernal faced as she was getting her education stretched from family to race and sex. She was told by her father that her job as a woman was to stay home and care for the children and husband, she was able to convince her father, though, that she was doing the right thing, he soon supported her, but it wasn't his ideal idea. She was never motivated at school to take complex classes which made her believe this was the reason women do not move on with their education, this only made Bernal work even harder for her education. As she entered college she noticed a few more challenges where professors did not ask the female student body to assist them on research papers and the few that were chosen where usually white giving her less of a chance to participate as Bernal is from Mexican descent.
