Voices from the borderlands push against boundaries in more ways than one, as Donna M. Kabalen de Bichara demonstrates in this investigation into the twentieth-century autobiographical writing of four women of Mexican origin who lived in the American Southwest. As Kabalen de Bichara notes, it is the historical exclusion of texts written by Mexican American women that gives particular significance to the reexamination of these five autobiographical works.
