Companeras

This is a collection of oral histories, essays, poems, short stories and art work by and about Latina lesbians. In these pieces, some in Spanish, most in English, 47 women born in ten different countries address issues such as coming out, relationships with families and friends, political organizing and community-building. Originally published in 1987 by the Latina Lesbian History Project, the voices in this volume explore the process of self-commitment to a political struggle to end all forms of oppression and offer a testimony which helps to break the silence surrounding the lives and opinions of Latina lesbians.
