Description:
CMAS plática explores women in Chicano movement
Attend a talk by Maylei Blackwell and Anna NietoGomez based on Blackwell's recent work, "¡Chicana Power! Contested Histories of Feminism in the Chicano Movement," the first book-length study of women's involvement in the Chicano movement of the late 1960s and 1970s.

The plática tells the powerful story of the emergence of Chicana feminism within student- and community-based organizations throughout southern California and the Southwest, especially the work of pioneering Chicana activist and theorist Anna NietoGomez and the Hijas de Cuauhtémoc, one of the first Latina feminist organizations, who together with other Chicana activists forged an autonomous space for women's political participation and challenged the gendered confines of Chicano nationalism in the movement and in the formation of the field of Chicana studies.
