Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 10 page research paper that discusses the fascinating career of this extraordinary writer. The life of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldua (1942-2004) was remarkable, as she was a "poet, thinker and activist," who death robbed the world far too soon of a vibrant intellect and a compelling writer (Oboler 296). Anzaldua will be remember as a feminist and also as a lesbian who wrote compelling about gay rights and argued persuasively for toleration and love. However, among her many accomplishments, her contribution to the "collective examination of the tenuous location of Latinas and Latinos within the contours" of American culture is perhaps where she will be remembered best.

help shed light on the drama of their lives as well as those of others" (Oboler 296). But while Anzalduas thought is, naturally, of interest to Latino studies, her basic
appeal transcends any specific community, as she speaks of universal truths and ideals of simple justice. Biographical background Gloria Anzaldua grew up on a ranch settlement named "Jesus
Maria" located in the Valley of Texas. Two to four families generally lived on each settlement. Till she was eleven years old, the family lived in a ranching environment, with
