- Abstract
5 Natalie Havlin, "'To Live a Humanity under the Skin': Revolutionary Love and Third World Praxis in 1970s Chicana Feminism", I Women's Studies Quarterly i 43.3 (2015): 82. 6 Loretta Ross, interview with Elizabeth "Betita" Martínez, March 3 and August 6, 2006, Atlanta, GA, and Oakland, CA, in Voices of Feminism Oral History Project, Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, Northampton, MA, p. 5. 7 Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, I Radicals on the Road: Internationalism, Orientalism, and Feminism during the Vietnam Era i (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2013), 213. 2 Annemarie Pérez, "'Tu Reata Es Mi Espada': Elizabeth Sutherland's Chicana Formation", in I Chicanas Movidas: New Narratives of Activism and Feminism in the Movement Era i , ed. Later, as coeditor for I El Grito del Norte i , Martínez was proud of the fact that of all the newspapers of that era, theirs was distinguishably "international,"[11] sending reporters to many of the countries affected by imperialist invasions.[12] In fact, Martínez herself visited North Vietnam in 1970, the first Chicana civil rights leader to do so.[13] Martínez was part of an internationalist current of the Chicano Movement. Multiple Insurgent Feminisms A central, if not a fully recognized figure in Chicana emancipation, Martínez was not only an early feminist: her cross-movement work and multiple insurgencies came to define a complex, nuanced intersectional feminism that she forged in multi-issue organizing.[16] As Martínez (and another SNCC Chicana member, Maria Varela) both struggled to find their place in an organization that began to turn toward Black nationalism, Martínez eventually left SNCC and dedicated her writing talents to the New Mexican Land Grant Movement.
