In the academic journal Chicana/ Latina Studies Vol.5, No. 2, published by Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social (MALCS), Ellie D. Hernández analyzes the intersectionality between Latinas and Feminism in her article titled, “THE FUTURE PERFECT: Chicana Feminist Critical Analysis in the Twenty-first Century.” Hernández explores the relations between Chicana activists and how they are deconstructing the systems put in places that keep them and other women of color from succeeding. “Only in recent years has Chicana feminist analysis found a new direction that advances a set of political goals.” (Hernández, 2006, p.60) These Mexican American women are seeing the potential for political and societal change at their own hands and are moving forward as they identify and heal from the oppression and obstacles that have been bestowed upon them in their respective settings.
