ABSTRACT
Over the years (350) there has been an acute absence of literature concerning the Chicana woman. This vacuum of literature has perpetuated myths and in effect led people to believe that Chicanas have played no significant role in society other than the impression that the Mexican woman has nothing to say and/or she does not care to participate in society. Like most assumptions, these implications are not true. The search for Chicana ideas has created a great demand for information on the Chicana question, but mass publication and distribution of her ideas has not occurred.
