How does feminism play its role in Like Water for Chocolate?

Feminism plays its role in Like Water for Chocolate because the main character and youngest daughter, Tita is forced to take care of her mother and never marry. Because she is a girl and the youngest, she will spend her life making sure her mother is taken care of until she dies. Her lover, Pedro, wants to marry Tita but instead her mother offers the eldest daughter, Rosaura. This shows that women never had a choice on who they could marry. Only the man could choose who he wanted. Cooking is also a huge symbol in this story which the girls all take part of. Tita is the best cook. Women were made to serve men. Men never were forced to serve women. This is another good example of feminism.
