monica poza on 07 Dec 14La palabra Chicana refiere a una mujer del origen Latina (Ordóñez 89): NOOOOOOOOOOO. This term is a 20th Century term. It does not applied to a "latina" woman. CHICANA IS NOT A LATINA. CHICANA IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN FORM THE US RAISED OR BORN IN US BUT "MEXICAN" HERITAGE, ONLY". An Argentinian raised or born in the US is not a Chicana. Neither a Colombian, or Spaniard. Read what Ordóñez says in Page 89: "The term Chicana will be understood throughout this essay to mean the female variant of the Webster's dictionary definition: "American of Mexican descent." A Chicano or Chicana (word derived from the Spanish mejicano, "Mexican") may be born in the United States or in Mexico and may write in English, Spanish, or a combination of the two languages called code-switching by linguists. Usually the choice of language depends on whether the writer is English or Spanish dominant or whether he or she wishes to create a certain effect or mood by using one language or the other or a combination of the two. Similarly, a Chicano surname may or may not appear in Anglicized form (e.g., a writer may use Ordonez, Ordonez, or both)."

NOOOOOO. How can this be? Sor Juana lived in 17th Century. She was born in Mexico. She never was in the US (how that could be?), So how can she be a Chicana if the term was created in 20th Century only for those Mexicans who were born or raised in the US in the 20th century? Sor Juana was a Mexican poet in the 17th century who is now a model for our contemporary Chicana poets, that is what Ordóñez says in page 68: "The Chicana poet, though new, has antecedents and contemporary models from whom she can draw inspiration. The well-known and widely anthologized denunciation of male hypocrisy and the double standard by the seventeenth-century Mexican poet Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz ("hombres necios que acusais [...]" 'stupid men who accuse [...]') is a prototype of frank and open poetic feminism which expresses its legacy in such outspoken Chicanas as Lorna Dee Cervantes, Evangelina Vigil, and Bernice Zamora."
