About Cherríe Moraga: For the past three decades, Moraga has contributed richly to Chican@, feminist, and gay and lesbian studies, as well as to American theater. With Gloria Anzaldúa she coedited THIS BRIDGE CALLED MY BACK (1981), which became one of the foundational texts of Third Wave feminism. She has since authored many books and garnered numerous awards, including for HEROES AND SAINTS (1994), a play that centers on the pesticide poisoning in the San Joaquin Valley town of McFarland in the 1980s. Moraga is Artist in Residence in the Drama department at Stanford University. For details, see Cherrie Moraga's official website: http://www.cherriemoraga.com/
