  Rest in Peace Gloria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Gloria Anzaldua was an incredible woman who literally changed the face of the academy and opened up for the door for other Chicanas such as myself to follow.
Gloria was truly a remarkable woman with the clarity of vision of a Dolores Huerta, the kindness of an internationalist that practiced her beliefs as a fighter for equality, love, and respect, and the commitment to her writings in the spirit of a Sor Juana.
Anzaldua's words have thundered my many ancestors within me, opening the windows that were not yet used as a girl, taking her hope that we (chicanas) comprehend the importance of the rattlesnakes in our veins.

 VG: Artist Biography: Anzaldua, Gloria
Gloria Anzaldua, a self-described "chicana dyke-feminist, tejana patlache poet, writer, and cultural theorist," was born to sharecropper/field-worker parents on September 26th, 1942 in South Texas Rio Grande Valley.
Anzaldua's passion for these issues is obviously the fuel for her writings, and some readers may find she digresses into long fiery lectures rather than relying strictly on insight.
Anzaldua's poetry is bolder and more unapologetic than her prose, and it is considerably easier to read than the first half of the book.

Gloria Anzaldúa's work is fundamentally concerned with articulating what she calls a "new mestiza consciousness," an identity characterized by hybridity, flexibility, and plurality and focused on the experiences of Chicanas (Mexican American women) and particularly mestizas (Chicana and Mexican women who have mixed Native American and Spanish heritage).
Writing fiction, poetry, memoirs, and literary and cultural criticism (sometimes all within the same text), Anzaldúa has helped define and lend authority to women of color as well as gays and lesbians, whom she identifies as empowered by the inclusiveness and expansiveness of mestiza identity.
