====Puerto Rican Feminists: Uncertain Alliances====
''Puerto Rican Feminists: Uncertain Alliances'' examines the struggles faced by Puerto Rican feminists in forming alliances within their movement. It highlights the initial criticisms faced by Puerto Rican women for addressing issues of sexism and women's oppression within the broader movement. The section also discusses the challenges of reconciling traditional cultural practices, such as machismo, with feminist ideologies. Despite these obstacles, Puerto Rican feminists worked towards challenging the notion of machismo as a progressive force and advocated for gender equality within the movement.
