Sommario/riassunto |

This book explores the political and feminist activism of Mexican American women in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1981. It examines the roles these women played in bridging activism during the postwar era to the early Chicano Movement and highlights their contributions to feminist praxis through organizations like the Comisión Femenil Mexicana Nacional. It also discusses significant events such as the International Women’s Year in Mexico City, 1975, and the development of Chicana body politics. The author, Marisela R. Chávez, draws on personal interviews and historical documents to provide an in-depth account of these women's experiences and their impact on Chicana |
