Social Work to Social Justice: Feminism, Care Work, & Community Building

Pivotal Puerto Rican feminist figures like Julia de Burgos, Yolanda Sanchez, Antonia Pantoja, and countless others have laid the groundwork for community-centered activism.

Don’t miss our upcoming panel with authors Vanessa Pérez-Rosario and Emma Amador as we work to understand and contextualize the stories of women like Burgos, Sanchez, and Pantoja and how they overlap in the struggles of national liberation in a patriarchal society.

Pérez-Rosario and Amador's recent publications, I Am My Own Path: Selected Writings of Julia de Burgos and The Politics of Care Work: Puerto Rican Women Organizing for Social Justice help us understand the root of these women's work and how it's grounded in a commitment to addressing the high stakes class struggles of women, migrants, and people of color.
