The Woman In The Zoot Suit
Presents the history of young Mexican American women zoot-suiters in wartime Los Angeles and explains their absence from Chicano movement narratives. This book reveals how pachucas challenged dominant notions of Mexican American and Chicano identity, and how feminists have reinterpreted la pachuca.
