The first full study of Mexican American women in the 20th century shows how, by building families and extended networks and by participating in community associations and political protest, they helped establish Mexican Americans in the United States. The book uses interviews and personal stories to capture a vivid sense of the Latin experience. Chosen by Choice as one of the "Outstanding Academic Books" for 1998.
