Through the Eyes of Rebel Women: The Young Lords (1969-1976)

The Young Lords Organization represented a new awakening of Puerto Rican radicalism in the United States. Inspired by the African American liberation struggles and anti-colonial movements across the world, the Young Lords emerged in New York in 1969. 
Through the Eyes of Rebel Women is the first account of women members. Women joined to fight poverty and racism, to end gender inequality, and free Puerto Rico from US colonialism. Written and edited by former member, Iris Morales, the book includes essays and interviews with women who fought the ''revolution within the revolution,''believing women's rights were inseparable from society's progress as a whole.
