| From settlers to community activists, educators to labor leaders, women of Latin American birth or heritage have left a unique imprint on the United States. In "Latina Legacies", Vicki L. Ruiz and Virginia Sanchez Korrol have assembled a pan-Latina collection of biographical essays showcasing the contributions made by women from Spanish/Mexican settlement to the present. This collection features fifteen women of various classes, of hybrid racial identities, of diverse political engagement whose lives offer a sense of the contributions of Latinas to the economic, intellectual, and cultural development of the United States. Blending insights from history, literary criticism, and cultural studies, this interdisciplinary anthology re-envisions Latina history, taking into consideration the power women have wielded in community activism, culture, and business. The collection documents the lives of Victoria Reid, Gertrudis Barceló, Loreta Janeta Velázquez, María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, Lola Rodríguez de Tió, Teresa Urrea, Luisa Capetillo, Adelina Otero Warren, Pura Belpré, Jovita González Mireles, Luisa Moreno, Carmen Miranda, Antonia Pantoja, Ana Mendieta and Dolores Huerta. | |
