"This stunning reappraisal offers long overdue recognition to the enormous contribution to the field of contemporary art of women artists in Latin America and those of Latino and Chicano heritage working during a pivotal time in history. Amidst the tumult and revolution that characterized the latter half of the 20th century in Latin America and the US, women artists were staking their claim in nearly every field. This wide ranging volume examines the work of more than 100 female artists with nearly 300 works in the fields of painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance art, and other experimental media."

"Ester Hernandez was born in California’s San Joaquin Valley to a Mexican/Yaqui farm worker family. The UC Berkeley graduate is an internationally acclaimed San Francisco-based visual artist.

"Misla is a native New Yorker and mixed media artist specifically interested in the Nuyorican experience. Misla’s work takes a personalized and collective account of the Latinx home and NYC apartments." (Description from artist's website).
"Growing up in Chicago to immigrant parents, I experienced firsthand the instability of living in the United States and the violence one can face. I dedicate my practice to advocating for the communities I am a part of, and my paintings act as a visual exploration of my interest in Colonial, Mexican, and Catholic histories, primarily alongside LGTBQIA+ narratives. My existence as a non-binary first generation Mexican American creates a state of conflict within my identity, and this tension is the most prevalent influence in my practice. As a queer person who is also a New American, my lived experience has been one of constantly combating instability, discrimination, and erasure." (Description from artist's website).
