    ABOUT THE BOOK:

    Focusing on young women between the ages of twenty and thirty,
    Voicing Chicana Feminisms explores the relationship between Chicana
    feminisms and the lived experience of Chicanas. How do they manifest
    their feminist consciousness on a day-to-day basis? Including rich
    ethnographic testimony, Hurtado allows the women to speak in their
    own terms about how they see their femininity, sexuality, gender
    identity, and ethnic and racial identity, as well ties to other
    feminisms and political struggles.

    PRAISE FOR VOICING CHICANA FEMINISMS:

    Hurtado aptly narrates how "our intellectual daughters" negotiate
    personal, social, and sexual identities, face challenges and triumph
    over adversaries in bedrooms, kitchens, classrooms, workplaces, and
    various communities...Hurtado constructs a compelling tapestry of
    political activism, resistance, and self-empowerment.

        --Gloria E. Anzaldza, author of Borderland/la Frontera: The New
        Mestiza

    This remarkable work is riveting reminder that ideas do make a
    difference in the social world. As Hurtado's extensive interviews
    reveal, young Chicanas have entered into transformative
    conversations with an older generation of theorists and activists as
    they give voice to Chicana feminisms in the struggles,
    contradictions, and pleasures of their everyday lives.

        --Angela Y. Davis, author of Women, Race, and Class
