“And now, today, as we hear the call of the Raza, and as the dormant, "docile" Mexican American comes to life, we see the stirring of the people. With that call, the Chicana also stirs and I am sure that she will leave her mark upon the Mexican-American movement in the Southwest”
Enriqueta Vasquez, Enriqueta Vasquez And the Chicano Movement: Writings from El Grito Del Norte (Hispanic Civil Rights)

“1980s feminism focused on questions of difference and making the category of women more inclusive”
Cristina Beltrán, The Trouble with Unity: Latino Politics and the Creation of Identity
