“To my knowledge, there are only seventeen Chicanas with PhDs in history. I am number four. Often we labor alone, subject to "proving" our research and our very presence in the academy. I would like to acknowledge the labors of Louise Kerr, Raquel Casas, Antonia Castañeda, Miroslava Chávez, Deena González, Camille Guerin Gonzáles, Lara Medina, Gloria Miranda, María Montoya, Lorena Oropeza, Cynthia Orozco, Emma Pérez, Naomi Quiñonez, Yolanda Romero, Elizabeth Salas, and Shirlene Soto and to honor the legacies of the late Irene Ledesma and Magdalena Mora.”
