Aurora Levins Morales (b. 1954) is an award-winning Puerto Rican feminist writer who writes and speaks about multicultural histories, feminism, the uses of history and cultural activism, and the ways that racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, and other systems of oppression interlock. Her most recent work is Medicine Stories, a retelling of the history of the Atlantic world through the lives of Puerto Rican women. She is also co-author, with her mother Rosario, of Getting Home Alive, a collage of poems, short stories, and essays

Mexican feminist Ana Castillo, in her book The Mixquiahuala Letters, writes a probing description of the relationship between the sexes that encompasses both Mexican and U.S. Hispanic forms of love, and gender conflict. This book is considered essential reading for anyone who wants to be literate about both feminism and U.S. Hispanic culture. Castillo's novel is a strong addition to a group of outstanding novels about the Latina experience.
