Comm 300: Chicano Movement II

I was reading for my Women's history class, and the chapter I was reading is focused upon the '60's and the '70's and what happened during this era. What was really cool was that this book addressed the female side of the Chicano movement. Turns out that these women had to fight against their men to try and gain rights for themselves. The men involved with the Chicano movement wanted the women to go back into the kitchen, because that was the best way to alleviate racial tensions. So, the women decided that in order to achieve the liberation they wanted, they had to separate themselves from the male Chicano movement, and that is exactly what they did.
