Preferred term

Chicana feminism  

Definition

  • Chicana feminism is a movement that developed in response to the inability of the Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s and the Anglo feminist movement to incorporate the specific experience and social justice issues confronting women of Mexican ancestry in the United States. The experience of Chicanas is rooted historically in the colonization of Mexico and subsequently in the attainment and annexation of most of what was northern Mexico in the 1800s by the United States.
