Overflowing with powerful testimonies of six female community activists who have lived
and worked in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, Chicanas of 18th Street reveals
the convictions and approaches of those organizing for social reform. In chronicling
a pivotal moment in the history of community activism in Chicago, the women discuss
how education, immigration, religion, identity, and acculturation affected the Chicano
movement. Chicanas of 18th Street underscores the hierarchies of race, gender, and
class while stressing the interplay of individual and collective values in the development
of community reform. Highlighting the women's motivations, initiatives, and experiences
in politics during the 1960s and 1970s, these rich personal accounts reveal the complexity
of the Chicano movement, conflicts within the movement, and the importance of teatro
and cultural expressions to the movement. Also detailed are vital interactions between
members of the Chicano movement with leftist and nationalist community members and
the influence of other activist groups such as African Americans and Marxists
