Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article gives voice to the hardships of Puerto Rican
women who grew up with three strikes against them: being women in a strict patriarchal
culture, being Puerto Rican in a prejudicial Anglo-American society, and being poor in an
affluent society. Alvarez also writes about her own experience of prejudice attending
parochial schools outside of her neighborhood, high schools in wealthier and whiter
neighborhoods, and even graduate school where her professors admonished her for her
research interest in Puerto Rican women. Alvarez's identifies her own struggles with those
of her informants and argues that acknowledging this commonalty is an important step in the
process of liberation.
