Chicana feminism

Abstract

This chapter explains how Chicana Third Space Feminism invites an alternative reading of the historical, social, personal, and political experiences of marginalized identities. Third Space Feminism articulates what Chela Sandoval calls a "theory of difference" that allows for the visibility of one’s gender, race, culture, or class. It draws attention to an in-between social category that rejects prevailing classifications of Otherness and marginality.
