Gloria Anzalda was an internationally acclaimed cultural theorist. As the author of Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza, Anzalda played a major role in shaping contemporary Chicano/a and lesbian/queer theories and identities. As an editor of three anthologies, including the groundbreaking This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, she played an equally vital role in developing an inclusive, multicultural feminist movement.
