Brotando Del Silencio - Breaking out of Sclence Suni Paz

The history and oppression experienced by the woman of La Raza - 'the Latin woman' - in the United States are not well-known, even in these years when so much is heard about women's liberation. By 'La Raza' we mean the dominant population of the American continent, the people who are racial mixture of native Indian, European and African. For us, the women of La Raza includes Chicanas, Puerto Ricans, women from Central and South America. Our national or cultural backgrounds may vary but we have more in common than difference.
