This thesis seeks to explore the involvement of Chicanas in the Chicano movement and their contributions to the field of education. This research paper covers the history of four women who were incredibly active within their communities and sought to fight for social justice, educational reform, and fight against police brutality. Through this research, I hope to shed some light on the contributions of these women and how their involvement was vital to the movement. This research was inspired by an interdisciplinary Chicana feminist praxis that includes methods of arhival studies, ethnic studies, history, ethnography, and education. This project was done in partnership with Chicana Por Mi Raza, an organization dedicated to documenting the presence and active involvement of Chicanas throughout history.
