Alice Guy-Blaché's direction challenges the patriarchal structures typical of early filmmaking by placing a female performer in a central, active role. This disrupts the era's depiction of women as submissive. The film serves as a historical document that explores cultural identity through Spanish traditions, offering a specific cultural study rather than characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. Its significance lies in using early cinema to examine performance and gendered movement from a pioneering female perspective.
