thumb|Marianismo derives from Roman Catholicism|Roman Catholic and Hispanic American beliefs about Mary, mother of Jesus, providing a supposed ideal of true [[femininity as the "absolute role model" for adult and young Hispanic/Latina women.]]
Marianismo is a Hispanic term that describes an ideal of true femininity with characteristics derived from the devotional cult of St. Mary of Guadalupe, a central figure of Roman Catholicism in Mexico. It defines standards for the female gender role in Hispanic American folk cultures, and is strictly intertwined with machismo and Roman Catholicism.
