This image reflects societal and cultural gender roles in many ways. It shows the opposite of what is seen on Mango Street, and what Esperanza wants. The dad is dressed casually and taking care of the house while also staying with their baby which is traditionally the role of women in most families. On the left, a woman, most likely the mother/partner, is running out the door in formal clothing and a briefcase which implies that she is working a job instead of the man. Overall, this image effectively shows what Esperanza wants gender roles to be like.

Esperanza is slowly and subtly becoming more traditionally masculine in her actions. The quote definitely exemplifies Esperanza's challenge with traditional gender roles. She's individually making a rebellion, doing things just like a man would that are not acceptable for women in her community. It is all for her to break away from the expectations culturally forced on women where they live.
