Before she dies, her grandmother reveals family secrets and shares her uncommon wisdom. "Someday, Mija," she tells Yvonne, "you'll learn the difference between a whore and a working woman." She also shares disturbing facts about their family's history--eventually leading Yvonne to discover that her grandmother was trafficked as a child in Depression-era Utah by her own mother, Yvonne's great-grandmother, and that she was blamed for her own rape. In the years that follow her grandmother's passing, Yvonne gets an education and starts a family. As she heals from her own abuse by her mother and stepfather, she becomes an advocate/labor activist. Grounded in her grandmother's dictum not to whore herself out, she learns to fight for herself and teaches others to do the same--exposing sexual harassment in the labor unions where she works and fighting corruption. Intense but ultimately uplifting, Someday Mija, You'll Learn the Difference Between a Whore and a Working Woman is a compelling memoir in essays of transforming transgenerational trauma into resilience and post-traumatic growth."-- $c Amazon.com. 546 $a Text primarily in English, with some Spanish words and phrases. 600 10 $a Martinez, Yvonne, $d 1949- 600 10 $a Martinez, Yvonne, $d 1949- $x Family. 650 0 $a Mexican American women labor leaders $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mexican American women labor union members $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women labor leaders $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women labor union members $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women social reformers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Adult child abuse victims $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sexual harassment of women. 650 0 $a Child abuse. 650 0 $a Family violence. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma. 650 0 $a Mental healing. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031959.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2351C824673311EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
