Gloria Anzaldúa 1942-2004

Gloria Anzaldúa died last weekend. There’s a mini obituary floating around that gives the basics if you don’t know who she was. Personally, her writing and anthologies provoked me into thinking a lot about my place in the world at a time when I was first becoming politically active. I owe her a debt for that and for the inspiration her work gave me.

I never met her, but my thoughts also go out to those who are mourning her personally as well as intellectually.

R.I.P. Gloria Anzaldúa. You will be missed.
