On a similar note, today in my Chicana Feminisms class I found out that Cherrie Moraga will be coming to the UofA in December. I about peed my pants. AND our first reading was from Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands. This semester is gonna blow my freakin' mind!

GIRL! I read Borderlands a few years back and FELL. IN. LOVE.

RIGHT!!! Have you read This Bridge Called My Back? It's what made me fall madly in love with both of them. Something about those Chicana lesbian writers...makes me swoon.

Yes Ma'am! I hunted that book down on Amazon for MONTHS and as soon as it was affordable, I grabbed it. Same thing with Dorothy's "Skin"! It's expensive right now on Amazon because it's hard to find but I found one at a Library sale a few weeks ago

I have two copies of Skin. If you'd like I would be happy to donate one to the event. Just let me know.
