Latina Legacies cover

Spanning two centuries, this collection documents the lives of fifteen remarkable Latinas who witnessed, defined, defied, and wrote about the forces that shaped their lives. As entrepreneurs, community activists, mystics, educators, feminists, labor organizers, artists and entertainers, Latinas used the power of the pen to traverse and transgress cultural conventions.

[The] fifteen biographical essays...provide a fascinating picture of Latina intellectual and cultural activity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. * British Bulletin of Publications, No. 112 *
