Teatro Chicana tells the story of a group of Chicana activists in the ‘60s and ‘70s who were the first women in their families to attend college. Struggling against racism, male supremacy, class discrimination and disregard from other activists they picked up the tool of Luis Valdez and Teatro Campesino and created teatros such as Archie Bunker Goes to El Salvador.

Joining Laura and Sandra in thediscussion will be undocumented student activists from Cal State L.A. and Cal State Northridge who will bring the story of courage and imagination from Teatro Chicana up to date with information about their own struggle for AB540, the California law that permits non residents to pay resident tuition, now being challenged in the courts.

500 Years of Chicana Women's History offers a powerful, vivid, pictorial account of struggle and survival, resilience and achievement, discrimination and identity. The bilingual text, along with hundreds of photos and other images, ranges from

female-centered stories of pre-Columbian Mexico to

profiles of contemporary social justice activists, labor leaders, youth organizers, artists, and environmentalists, among others.

From the women who fought and died in the Mexican Revolution to those marching with their young children today for immigrant rights, every story draws inspiration. Like the editor's previous book, 500 Years of Chicano History (still in print after 30 years), this thoroughly

enriching view of Chicana women's history promises to become a classic.

Elizabeth "Betita" Martínez is a widely known Chicana writer, activist, and lecturer. Now director of the Institute for Multiracial Justice in San Franciso, she has published six books, most recently De Colores Means All of Us: Latina Views for a Multi-Colored Century.
