This course is an introduction to Chicana feminist writers and activists who emerged during the feminist and Chicano movements of the 70s and 80s in the United States. Using an intersectional approach, course participants will critically engage this foundational work and its connection to more recent works by Chicana feminists and activists. Students will study the contributions of Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, Emma Perez, and others whose work was and continues to be an influential source of feminist theory, method, and activism.
