This volume is the first collection of studies devoted exclusively to Chicana literature. It contains important articles on the female hero in Chicano literature, the fictive voices of Chicana novelists, the prose of Gina Valdes and Sylvia Lizarraga, the short stories of Estela Portillo Trambley, the poetic "I" in Alma Villanueva's Mother, May I?, and humor in Chicanao literature.

These plays explore different facets of the human experience: the dilemma of the mojado, human vulnerabilities in the search for a way to overcome death, the alienation of the Hispanic family amidst economic hardships and personal crises, and the existential conflicts of Mexico's most celebrated feminist thinker, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz.
