[Viviana Priss]

Rare book of Latina modern day feminism. Talking about macho men that keep getting Latinas pregnant over and over. Human sexuality chapter with packed details. Bettina is truly talented I wonder what happened to her. Go buy this book if you are learning about Latina culture.

[Selina Delgado]

I liked this book, it was very true to the Latinas/Mexicana's way of life. this book I recommend to anyone who is fascinated in other cultures or just wanting to read a good book.

First Latina feminist literature of it's kind
