"Latina Legacies is a marvelous addition to the American Studies
literature documenting the lives of exemplary Latinas as diverse as
Luisa Moreno, Carmen Miranda, and Teresa Urrea. Telling the stories
of women of various classes, of hybrid racial identities, of
diverse political engagements, and of complex romantic
proclivities, this book is a gold mine of information for teachers
and students alike."--Ramón A. Gutiérrez, University of
California, San Diego
"One of the most comprehensive looks at the intellectual, social,
and cultural development of Latinas in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. It is a must-read for every student and reader who is
curious about the rich legacy of Latinas who have made history
through reform, transgression, and policy making."--Maria E.
Montoya, New York University
