ABSTRACT
At the December 4th [1971] Raza Unida Party Conference held at San Fernando high school, there was a workshop on La Chicana and the role she would play in La Raza Unida Party. It is an understanding that Chicanos, as a whole people cannot be liberated if one sector of its whole is still in bonds. The question of La Chicana’s liberation lies in the definition of this term. We are speaking of the liberation which gives the Chicana “a freedom of choice” in roles she plays within the society. She may have the freedom of choice to become a doctor, a lawyer, to run for a political office, become a Congresswoman or she may choose to become a housewife, a mother.
