Can we fight, and win, against an ideology that has been established and practiced for decades? In Leaving Patriarchy Behind, Leticia recounts her father's disappointment at the birth of each daughter: "After each birth, Papa would turn to Mama and ask, 'Mama, es un niño?' But, out of 18 babies, Mama only had four boys." With some challenging years behind her, Leticia considers the culture that informed her parents' principles, those she knew she could not accept as her own. She realized from childhood that she was not one to follow the disparate rules set for boys and girls.In these short vignettes, Leticia Aguilar recalls her life as a child in Mexico in the 1960s and as an adult in America in the '70s and beyond. Looking back, she reflects on her struggles as a girl, then a young woman, and the men who told her what she could and could not do. Instead, Leticia turned away from Mexican patriarchy, even as she was criticized and warned of her shortcomings in being independent. In a small mountain community in California where Leticia raised her family, she joined a variety of local organizations where she provided young women with a career, education, and family resources. Leticia's memoir inspires others to rise above misogyny and racism.Leaving Patriarchy Behind: One Woman's Journey is a finalist in Women's Issues (Non-Fiction) for the 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

Theories talk about the motives and causes of evolution. Darwin explained our origin from primates and the mechanism of evolution of natural selection, but in our case, it is not yet clear. Are free hands important? What about upright gait and brain volume? It is widely believed that free hands and upright gait made it possible to meet the need for food, thus enabling brain development. The author points out that the brain is important, but its development is the understanding of abstraction! Two million years ago, the volume of our brain (not our hands) developed abruptly. Can you imagine how much of a need there was for such great brain growth? Today we live in a technological age and the volume of the brain has not increased even by a millimeter! In theory, it can be imagined what was the initiator of the brain enlargement. It's a belief! The author explains how and why the primate began to believe. Over time, belief has enabled the evolution of the brain to understand abstraction. The initial belief evolved through five stages. Belief in the five objects of fertility provides answers to many prehistoric and historical unknowns. Why do the symbols have the shape they have or why was the custom used in just such a form or why did the objects have just this particular shape? All customs and ways of worship have common roots. Belief is our creator, but we are also its creator!
