    Cofer emphasizes that “we cannot change this (the myth of Latina as whore, domestic or criminal) by legislating the way people look at us. The transformation, as I see it, has to occur at a much more individual level” (56). I fully endorse her idea about the change be made in an individual level. I believe that each Latin woman should try show with her own example of life and behave that…

    “Sor Juana” is a biography of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz written by Octavio Paz and translated by Margaret Sayers Peden. It is a book of 470 pages divided in six parts that besides Sor Juana’s life and work, explain the difficulties of the time for an intellectual woman. It was published by The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1988. Reading this book gave me the best opportunity to know more about someone that although has been very influential in my entire life, I didn’t know all her history. My admiration and respect for Sor Juana started since I was a child and one of my sisters used to read her poems. Through my literature classes I knew a little more about her and the…

    During the 1980s we witness a powerful manifestation of courage hailing from the Chicana women. In class we discussed forms of oppression that were displayed such as: nonconsensual sterilizations, employment discrimination, underemployment, etc. In a world dominated by men, the Chicana women mobilized and took a stand against such forms of injustice. Though reactions towards this caused them to be labeled as “malinches”, they fought to “create a space of their own”, abolish the patriarchy completely, and alter the ideology of the “Ideal Women” that society at the time was presenting.…

    When analyzing Gloria Anzaldua’s writing “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” it is important to look at her background. She comes from a very diverse background; her parents were immigrants, she was born in south Texas, and she identifies herself as a Chicana feminist. The different discourse communities seen through her writing is the struggle she has between the different languages she has to adapt to around different people in her life. Writing from the borderlands between American, Mexican, Spanish, Indian, Chicano, and Mestiza culture, Anzaldua creates a representation of the wide range of forces within herself and the culture from which comes.…

    In “The Myth of The Latin Women”, there are numerous stereotypes that Latin women are judged for. Being a Latin woman, Cofer was judged falsely. Clothing in the Latin culture is a means of expression. Cofer explains that woman and girls often wear brightly colored outfits, specifically dresses and skirts. The clothing that Latin women wear also has an influence on how others might see them. Cofer describes that, “As young girls, it was our mothers who influenced our decisions about clothes and colors,” Unfortunately, the media twisted this tradition, making it translate into “Hispanic women as the hot tamale or sexual firebrand” (245).…

    Cisneros focuses on three feminine clichés: the passive virgin, sinful seductress, and traitorous mother.[1] Not properly belonging to either Mexico or America, the Chicana protagonists earnestly search for their identity, only to discover abuse and shattered dreams. Apart from focusing on these issues of struggling females, Cisneros simultaneously develops the readers ' sensitivity towards the lives of immigrants.

    The arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World gave impetus to an era of Portuguese and Spanish colonization that later established the defining conflicts in Latin America that remain evident up till now – culture clashes, religious and military conquest, slavery, as well as economic exploitation . However, beyond these refulgent themes and grand historical events, an important topic that is often overlooked is what life was actually like for women in Colonial Latin America. This paper explores the role of women in Colonial Latin America, with the goal of understanding women in their society and time, without judging them based on the current of past social or political agendas.…

    Women make up half of the world’s population today, however the role of women in history has been limited. It has been noted that Latin American women in colonial times experienced more rights compared to other women in the world. Although these women had more rights there were still gender restrictions. Women in colonial Latin America had the option of choosing two roles. These roles were to become a married woman or to become a nun. The two primary sources of Santa Rosa of Lima, and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, help explain the role and perception of nuns during this time.…

    Banana Yoshimoto’s novella ‘Kitchen’ and ‘Like Water For Chocolate’ by Laura Esquivel explore the blurring of gender roles through the characterisation of the key male characters, Eriko and Pedro. The obscurity of gender roles is utilised by both authors as a literary tool in the formation of interpersonal relationships with the protagonists of each text. Furthermore both authors employ this blurring in the deconstruction of their respective audience’s societal expectations. Yoshimoto on the conventions of conservative 1980’s Japan, and Esquivel as a 3rd wave feminist writer on the patriarchal expectations of 1980’s Mexico. Finally, both texts delineate the underlying danger of the absence of clear gender roles in society, existentially in ‘Kitchen’ and from a feminist perspective in ‘Like Water For Chocolate’.…

    As a Latina woman, Khristian Mendez-Aguirre’s lecture on the work of Latino theatre really grabbed my attention. It was my first time building a strong connection to the plays presented in lecture. The stereotypes that come with gender, body image, ideals, and family in both Real Women Have Curves by Josefina Lopez and The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico Lorca are concepts that I have firsthand struggled with. Like the ambitious Ana, in Lopez’s play I was told women are better daughters when they stay close to home before coming to UT, and like Adela, I have made decisions that are too modern for some of my family members. Overall, it was interesting learning more about my roots and its theatre history. Through this lecture I discovered…

    Feminist literature has changed greatly throughout the movement, often improving on or contradicting previously written ideas. In A Room of One’s Own (1929), Virginia Woolf discusses the disparity between the treatment of men and women as she argues for equal access and opportunity. Several years later, Gloria Anzaldúa reclaims the word mestiza in her discussion about borders in Borderlands: La Frontera (1987). Writing in the beginning of the 20th century, Woolf was very much a proponent of First Wave feminism and its goal of equal possibility for women. Though this was a revolutionary idea, Woolf fails to mention race and the non-binary, however, Anzaldúa is one of the first to be a major proponent for racial, intersectional, and queer…

    There have been many important topics and discussions that we have talked about in this class covering many throughout the year. We’ve come across many writers, thinkers, and poets that have brilliant thoughts and ideas. However, Gloria Anzaldua has the best views and beliefs relating to discourse, labeling, consciousness of self, identity, and cross-cultural fertilization. Anzaldua addresses these issues best in her passage “Towards a New Consciousness” along with her book “Borderlands, LaFrontera: The New Mestiza”, discussing many of the important topics we’ve talked about in our class. Anzaldua has done many great things for herself, sex, and most importantly her race. Anzaldua isn’t afraid of speaking out her mind and saying what is truthfully and morally right. Anzaldua’s work has benefitted many people dealing and facing the same issues she has dealt regardless of race and sex. Anzaldua’s work is important not only to myself but everyone else that is around me because it deals with current issues today. Anzaldua’s input and thoughts have propelled her to be one of the most important feminist writers in the 20th century.…
