“Really loved the experience of hearing directly from the women organizing with the Young Lords in such an earnest way. As the internal struggles within the org shows, the importance of gender perspective can be minimized in class struggle, but it's really to acknowledge how gender inequality is a central tool of capitalism and class division. I could really tell the women of this book continue to believe sincerely in the importance of the work and legacy of the Young Lords as well the mission of class struggle. The organizational history sections were really comprehensive and incredible with the perspective that it all happened within a couple years.”

“This is the kind of feminist writing and scholarship I wish we saw more--the kind based in radical politics, and writing from and about the lens of minoritized working-class women. Also great to see scholarship highlighting the Young Lords, who don’t get the same kind of coverage as the Black Panthers.”

“I’m so glad I found this book. This is a history we don’t really hear about but a history that is important to know as a Puerto Rican woman. We are stronger together, we always have been and always will. It’s accepting that fact that seems to be the issues faced then and the issues faced today. So much to learn from this.”
