There is economic dependency on women remaining in the home, and it is with these foundations that Esperanza begins with her "own quiet war. [. . .] [where she] leaves the table like a man, without putting back the chair or picking up the plate"[12] versus being the servant, the woman, who puts back the chair and picks up the plate. Burcar argues that the novel ends on a note where it blames a patriarchal system for the entrapment of Mexican-American women in the home.[13] For Esperanza, joining mainstream America (having a "house of [her] own") will allow her freedom as a woman.[14] However, Burcar contends that this emancipation comes at the expense of the sacrifice of other women, women that came before her, particularly her mother.[citation needed]
