Gloria Anzaldua

Abstract: A 10 page research paper that discusses the fascinating career of this extraordinary writer. The life of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldua (1942-2004) was remarkable, as she was a "poet, thinker and activist," who death robbed the world far too soon of a vibrant intellect and a compelling writer (Oboler 296). Anzaldua will be remember as a feminist and also as a lesbian who wrote compelling about gay rights and argued persuasively for toleration and love. However, among her many accomplishments, her contribution to the "collective examination of the tenuous location of Latinas and Latinos within the contours" of American culture is perhaps where she will be remembered best. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
