This was overall pretty good though there was some fatalism within a lot of the book's arguments (and the general critique of marxism-leninism falling from a rather liberal standpoint didn't sit well with me, obviously), i.e. that because things were one way in the past w/in activism they will be that way in the future, a lot of the terms were really dated (i.e. referring to women's oppression based on physiognomy was rather embarrassing to read) and the cissexism could do without but there were some good parts to it, and it is the text that launched xicanisma

This has been one of my favorite books of all time. My copy is dog eared, written in, and the pages are a bit loose.
Interested in queer rights, feminism, mexican/chicana history and theory, religious influence on life, and more? You must read this book.

Mexican/Latino feminism and machismo. At one time in my life, I would have eaten this stuff up. Now, it's just OK.
