This Chicana women-led conference held in May 1971 includes discussions on abortion, birth control, sexuality, and other feminist issues. The conference becomes part of the lineage of a "Chicana feminist consciousness" leading to many political grassroots organizations that are feminist-led and critical to the Chicanx movement.
