On the Visibility of Chicana Feminists
I'm concerned about the visibility of Chicana feminists, especially Chicana feminists in art or music. Where are we? Every time I search for a Chicana writers collective I get broken links or websites that were started up (probably as the supplementary "cultural" section of a college course) and then not maintained. So I dedicate this blog to creating visibility of Mexican and Mexican-American womyn writers, musicians, and artists. I know you're out there somewhere.
Our homework for today:
Making Face, Making Soul: A Chicana Feminist Website
A website put together by Susana L. Gallardo, a doctoral candidate in the Religious Studies Department at Stanford University. A very rich source for Chicana Feminists and supporters, with various definitions of Chicana Feminism, from writers like Gloria Anzaldua. A section on literature, culture, and religion. Lesbiana friendly. Maintained recently.
