The Woman

The creator of this blog can be described in many ways, among which are the following:

• Proud to be Mexican American with Midwestern roots
• The first in her family to attend college and graduate school
• Professoring at an urban, public university
• In love with a hottie hardware engineer
• Fiercely feminist, unabashedly bourgie
• An accomplished procrastinator
• Owner of a feisty little wiener dog

The Blog

The Daily Chicana aims to post on Monday through Friday at least two or three times a week about some facet of these primary topics:

• The writing process
• Academic culture
• Representations of Mexican Americans and Latina/os in the media
• The general trials and tribulations of a racialized, gendered existence.
