This presentation is about Latina social activists’ impact on U.S. History. These cross-border women, or ‘atravesadas’ as Gloria Anzaldua has called them, were educators, journalists, and civil rights activists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Their stories helped to transform many lives, especially of those who were made invisible by the hegemonic narrative.

Presentations by Associate Professor of Spanish Guadalupe Pérez-Anzaldo and Assistant Professor of Geography and Women's and Gender Studies Aída Guhlincozzi
