Latinas in the United States: a historical encyclopedia - edited by Vicki L. Ruiz and Virginia Sánchez Korrol
In their introduction to this three-volume A-to-Z encyclopedia, editors Vicki L. Ruiz and Virginia Sanchez Korrol define Latinas as “an umbrella term that refers to all women of Latin American birth or heritage, including women from North, Central and South America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean.” This compendium covers Latinas in the United States from the 16th century to the present, including not only Latina biographies – 600 of them – but also related events and topics ranging from the Communist Party, the El Paso Laundry Strike and the Friendly House of Phoenix, Arizona, to street vending, World War II and West Side Story.
