The purpose of Our Stories is to bring women’s work into the light, so that their writing receives recognition for the first time, and for other writers, once again receive validation—all writers for their success—for overcoming difficult challenges in their lives: discrimination, abuse, rejection, loss of a loved-one, separation from family—and today are individual stars that lead the way and inspire others.

In the Chicana coming of age, Frida Kahlo embodied the whole
notion of culture for Chicana women. She represented all that we valued:
courage, activism , personal strength, familia, beauty and artistic creativity.
Individually and collectively she became an imagined ancestor we not only
wanted, but needed. Her iconic image, her paintings and her struggle as a woman
inspired us and moved us forward in our own movimiento.
