- Description
- The founder of the Feminist Press offers an account of her accomplished life. There's her personal life: growing up in a working-class family in Brooklyn in the 1930s, her marriages: her desire for children and laborious building of a family of close friends, adopted teenage black daughter, and stepsons. Then there's her professional life: teaching, civil rights and antiwar activism, development of women's studies, and her most important project, the Feminist Press, started 40 years ago. Her private and professional lives sometimes intersect, especially in her chapter 'Becoming a Feminist,' but usually she deals with these parts of her life separately. Howe is most enlightening in describing her childhood, with a mother who doted on her son but often treated Howe harshly (perhaps to teach her how hard a woman's life is). Yet after her mother's death, Howe finds that her mother had kept every piece of paper reflecting Howe's achievements. Howe is most comfortable writing about her work with the Feminist Press, as well as her travels to international conferences.

- Description
- The essayist Adela Sloss-Vento (1901-1998) was a powerhouse of activism in South Texas's Lower Rio Grande Valley throughout the Mexican American civil rights movement beginning in 1920 and the subsequent Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s. . .This book revives the history of a major female Latina leader. Bringing to light the economic and political transformations that swept through South Texas in the 1920s as ranching declined and agribusiness proliferated, the author situates Sloss-Vento's early years within the context of the Jim Crow/Juan Crow era. . .The author also highlights a partnership with Alonso S. Perales, the principal founder of the League of United Latin American Citizens. It was such a contradiction for her to tolerate LULAC's gender-segregated chapters as Sloss-Vento was an outspoken critic of male privilege in the home and a decidedly progressive wife and mother.
