Chicana Feminist Thought recovers the historical contributions of a generation of Chicana feminists
whose activism forged a collective struggle to overcome the gender contradictions, tensions, and conflicts within
the Chicano Movement.
Any historical analysis of the Chicano Movement, the Women's Movement and any other social protest movement of
the 1960s is incomplete without a systematic integration of the Chicana feminist movement and its ideological foundations.
Organized thematically and chronologically, these collected works of Chicana feminists explore such topics as sexual
politics within the Chicano cultural nationalist movement, the multiple sources of Chicana oppression, organizational
strategies and agendas, and the relationship between Chicana feminists and white feminists.
