<P> The role of women in the Mexican Revolution has been an important aspect of historical memory . In the Historical Museum of the Mexican Revolution, there is a recreation of Adelita, the idealized female revolutionary combatant or soldadera . The typical image of a soldadera is of a woman with braids, wearing female attire, with ammunition belts across her chest . There were a few revolutionary women, known as coronelas who commanded troops, some of whom dressed and identified as male, who do not fit the image stereotypical soldadera and are not celebrated in historical memory at present . </P> <P> An important element the Revolution's legacy is the 1917 Constitution . It was pushed forward by populist generals within Carranza's government to gain popular support . It was not written by liberal elites or the military itself, but rather young populist professionals, giving the document some authenticity for the peasantry . The document brought numerous reforms demanded by populist factions of the revolution, with article 27 empowering the state to expropriate resources deemed vital to the nation . These included expropriation of hacienda lands and redistribution to peasants . Article 27 also empowered the government to expropriate holdings of foreign companies, most prominently seen in the 1938 expropriation of oil . In Article 123 the constitution codified major labor reforms, including an 8 - hour work day, a right to strike, equal pay laws for women, and an end to exploitative practices such as child labor and company stores . The constitution strengthened restrictions on the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico . In the early 1990s, the government introduced reforms to the constitution that rolled back the government's power to expropriate property and its restrictions on religious institutions . Just as the government of Carlos Salinas de Gortari was amending significant provisions of the constitution, Metro Constitución de 1917 station was opened . </P> <P> The PRI, or Institutional Revolutionary Party is one of the major lasting legacies of the Mexican Revolution; its first iteration was the Partido Nacional Revolucionario founded in 1929 under Northern revolutionary general and president of Mexico (1924--1928) Plutarco Elías Calles, following the assassination of president - elect (and former president) Álvaro Obregón in 1928 . The establishment of the party created an enduring structure that managed not only presidential succession but also groups with competing interests . Initially, Calles remained the power behind the presidency during a period known as the Maximato, but his hand - picked presidential candidate, Lázaro Cárdenas, won a power struggle with Calles, expelling him from the country . Cárdenas reorganized the party that Calles founded, creating formal sectors for interest groups, including one for the Mexican military . The reorganized party was named Party of the Mexican Revolution . In 1946, the party again changed its name to the Institutional Revolutionary Party . The party under its various names held the presidency from 1929 to 2000 and since 2012, is the party again in power . </P> <P> The PRI was built as a big tent corporatist party, to bring many political factions and interest groups (peasantry, labor, urban professionals) together, while excluding conservatives and Catholics, who eventually formed the opposition National Action Party in 1939 . </P>
