Women are coming into their own, slowly but surely.  In fact, we almost had our first Female President of the United States. That glass ceiling may not be shattered yet, but one day. Until then, women will continue to fight for their rights and their place in history, like the women in this month’s Book of the Month by Enriqueta L.

Vasquez.  Happy Reading! 

THE WOMEN OF LA RAZA

An Epic History of Chicana-Mexican American Peoples

by Enriqueta L. Vasquez

In the beginning there was woman.

The Women of La Razais a “Plain talk” woman’s perspective of history with a special value for both the spoken and written word.

I use plain talk because there is a certain respect for plain talk, in the old tradition. In ceremonial circles one asks for, “la Palabra,” to speak. I have been humbled many times by the Indigenous peoples of Mexico where ‘la palabra,’ oratory, is highly valued.—Enriqueta L.
