Back Issue: June 2, 2006 | Dr. Vicki Ruiz, president of the Organization of American Historians and Berkshire Conference of Women Historians, gave a presentation at Gallaudet on April 12 entitled "La Nueva Chicana": Women in the Chicano Movement. She gave a brief background on Chicano history, then focused on how “Chicana” women have been instrumental within the Chicano movement to gain civil rights. She also discussed how issues of class and gender affected the success of the movement. An award-winning scholar, Ruiz is author, editor, or coeditor of nine books, including From Out of the Shadows: Mexican Women in Twentieth-Century America (1997) and, with Ellen Carol DuBois, Unequal Sisters: A Multicultural Reader in U.S History (3d ed., 2000).
