A Chicana may have recently arrived from Mexico, or her ancestors may have been in the Southwest since 1520(or before) or in the Midwest since the 1880's. She may be rural, urban, poor, middle class or Ph.D., a high school dropout, a teacher, or a migrant. She does share some basic, and heterogeneous, roots in the development of Indian and Spanish culture and history. She also shares the history of involvement and participation which has been a way of life for the Chicano community in the U.S. since 1848. Documenting the development of Mexican American women in Mexico and the U.S., this monograph discusses: the Chicana's historical legacy during Mexico's Pre-Columbian and Colonial Periods, its War for Independence, the 1910 Revolution, and during the United States Colonial Period and history.between 1840 and 1960; Chicanas in the U.S.

Advocating the Use of California's Stalking Statutes to Prosecute Radical Anti-Abortion Protestors Olga Rodriguez* "Terrorism in our society. .. We are concerned that as it continues, the right to choose will be a right in name only." I "A country dedicated to freedom of speech does not easily censor political rhetoric, however inflammatory it becomes. But it can-and should--punish criminal activity. That means, among other things, that leaders need to take responsibility for what they say, to respect the power of words just as they respect the law. When they indulge in inflammatory rhetoric, can they feign surprise and innocence when some unbalanced person follows their reasoning to its logical conclusion?,,2 I. Introduction Although the paragon of free speech can be characterized as peaceful and infonnative demonstrations or protests, a free market place of ideas, this has not been the case with recent abortion protests.
