Macuilxochitzin

Macuilxochitzin (born c. 1435), also referred to in some texts as Macuilxochitl,^[1] was a poet (cuicanitl^[2]) during the peak years of the Aztec civilization. She was the daughter of Tlacaélael,^[3] a counselor to the Aztec kings and the niece of the Tlatoani warrior Axayacatl.^[1] She lived through the height of the Aztec civilization's expansion.^[4] Her life and works are an example of gender parallelism in pre-Hispanic Mexico, where women were given the same opportunities enjoyed by men.^[5]
