In 1981, Chicana feminist intellectuals Cherr獯 Moraga and Gloria Anzald published what would become a touchstone work for generations of feminist women of color--the seminal This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color. To celebrate and honor this important work, editors gloria j. wilson, Joni B. Acuff, and Amelia M. Kraehe offer new generations A Love Letter to This Bridge Called My Back.

A Love Letter recognizes the challenges faced by women of color in a twenty-first-century world of climate
