Las Obreras: Chicana Politics of Work and Family (Aztlan : A Journal of Chicano Studies, Volume 20, Numbers One and Two) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This collection of essays explores the lived experiences of Chicanas in the spaces of family and the workplace, as well as public spaces of church, neighborhood, and even hospitals. Ruiz (history, Arizona State U.) is joined by 14 other Chicana scholars working in a variety of disciplines to examine and relate the stories of women as they litigate against forced sterilization, organize a labor movement in the garment workers trade, migrate from Mexico to the US, and try to integrate their experiences into the classroom.
