"Chicana Leadership: The "Frontiers" Reader" breaks the stereotypes
of Mexican American women and shows how these women shape their
lives and communities. This collection looks beyond the frequently
held perception of Chicanas as passive and submissive and instead
examines their roles as dynamic community leaders, activists, and
scholars.
"Chicana Leadership" features fifteen essays from the notable
women's journal Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies that
demonstrate the strength and diversity of Chicanas as well as their
continuing struggle to have their voices heard. Noted scholars
discuss issues ranging from the feminist prototype La Malinche to
Chicana writers and national ideology, from gender and identity to
ideas of culture and romance, and from tokenism to the diversity
within the Chicana community. The essays provide an introduction to
an evolving understanding of this diverse community of women and
how they interact among themselves, with their community, and with
the world around them.
