Summary
A CRUSHING LOVE, Sylvia Morales' sequel to her groundbreaking history of Chicana women, CHICANA (1979), honors the achievements of five activist Latinas -- labor organizer/farm worker leader Dolores Huerta, author/educator Elizabeth "Betita" Martinez, writer/playwright/educator Cherrie Moraga, civil rights advocate Alicia Escalante, and historian/writer Martha Cotera -- and considers how these single mothers managed to be parents and effect broad-based social change at the same time.
