Mapping Chicana/Mexicana Voices in the Borderlands is an oral history project that highlights the contributions of women's organizing in South Texas and Southern Arizona.

This project examines the active participation of Mexican/Chicana women in politics. By centering the experiences of Mexican/Chicana women, our working group highlights the historical contributions of women’s grassroots organizing in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas and Southern Arizona in Tucson. These women’s oral histories teach us about their experiences in mobilizing and sustaining communities from the late 1960s to 2010s.
