The women will have a lot to say from now on. Not only on those questions which affect them personally, such as abortions, the pill, sex information,… - Francisca Flores

From Regeneración, Vol. 2, No. 1, 1971: pp. 6-7.

If the promulgators of the "Chicana's role is in the home having large families" also projects concern with the health problems of abnormal or self-induced abortions and still born births, we might accept their contentions as a basis for discussion. As it stands, however, we have to conclude that their belief on the role of the Mexican women is based on erroneous cultural and historical understanding of what is meant by "our cultural heritage," as it relates to the family.

The effort and work of Chicana/Mexican women in the Chicano movement is generally obscured because women are not accepted as community leaders either by the Chicano movement or by the Anglo establishment.
