¡Chicana Power!: Contested Histories of Feminism in the Chicano Movement (Chicana Matters)

I like the information but it is written like a college book, a bit boring.

i read this book for a women and gender studies graduate course, and it is one of my favorite books. i appreciate the author's perspectives, knowledge, and perspectives on Chicana leadership experiences.

My daughter loves the book.

Should have rented this instead

Loved it!

Great e-seller

While the intentions of this book are great, the author does not follow through or deliver on what she sets out to tell in the book. Way too much focus on one woman's story- not a good example of oral history and definitely not a good example of giving a voice to the voiceless or previously invisible subjects she claims to be writing for.

Incomplete, short-sighted, and too myopic. misplaced male polarization ignores NY feminist power grab, the Maldonado/Ward CA/DC revolution that made first federal chicana inroads federally, and lack of bipartisan savvy politically in formulation organizational esteem and independence. Too negative.

Written in a style that suits the interested general reader, as well as academics interested in the history of Chicana feminism, this book is a pleasure to read. Never shying away from telling the story behind modern Chicano feminism, it deserves a place on your shelves, or in your tablet.
