“I want the freedom to carve and chisel my own face, to staunch the bleeding with ashes, to fashion my own gods out of my entrails...”

~Gloria Anzaldúa

Birth: September 26,1942

Pass over: May 15,2004

Gloria Anzaldúa, was not only a scholar of Chicana Cultural, feminist, and queer theory but was a 'soul feeder' to those whom identified strongly with the struggles that Anzaldúa had brought to the light.She was a person who spoke truth about Chicana identity. The disadvantage, the marginalization,the unspoken truths,the internalized hate,the withdraw from self and community all of which are apart of the Chicana experience. She expresses these struggles through her profound words as well as her own experiences throughout her books. She spoke about the unspeakable, airing all the 'dirty laundry' under her brave account. 

She attended Pan American University receiving her BA in English, Art , and Secondary Education then attending University of Texas at Austin receving her MA in English and Education. 

Gloria also dealt with Endocrine, a disorder/disease that caused problems with her sexual reproduction, causing her to menstruate at the age of three and stop physically growing at the age of twelve later resulting to her undergoing a hysterectomy. 

Anzaldúa was also a very spiritual being that in many cases readers could pick up from. Her experience as being a 'free spirit,  more or less, originated from a lot of out of body experiences that she exhibited. With this, it became another piece that contributed to her work. Herself was always painted within her work, she had always laid herself out as open as her books were. This allowed for so many people (readers. i.e.) to connect to her struggles as being Chicana...the Chicana Identity, in general. 

Some of her books that she wrote: 

-Boredlands/ La Frontera (As we all know-MY FAVORITE) 

-This Bridge Called My Back: Writing by Radical Women of Color

-This Bridge We Call Home: Radical Visions For Transformation

-The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader

-Making Face, Making Soul/Haciendo Caras: Creative and Critical Perspectives by Feminists of Color
