addition to their racial and class status and that efforts by the CSRC
to address and rectify Chicano oppression largely ignored sexism. The
Women's Unit was officially established in 1985 to define and promote
Chicana / Mexicana Studies and to advance the social, political, and
economic welfare of the Chicana / Mexicana
community.
