MAPPING CHICANA/MEXICANA VOICES IN THE BORDERLANDS

Mapping Chicana/Mexicana Voices is an oral history project that highlights the contributions of women's organizing in South TX and Southern AZ.

This project examines the active participation of Mexican/Chicana women in politics. By centering the experiences of Mexican/Chicana women, our working group seeks to highlight the historical contributions of women's grassroots organizing in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas and Southern Arizona, in Tucson. We have been conducting oral histories with women to learn about their experiences in mobilizing and sustaining communities, from the late 1960s to 2010.
