Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:
Focusing on Puerto Rican women in the Chicago area, analyzes the contradiction between the conservative ethnic and religious beliefs of the community and the rate of abortion, which is half again that for non-Latinas. Finds that over half of those interviewed who chose to have abortions did so to maintain opportunities for themselves or to resist male control. Also finds that the resistance to traditional gender roles does not damped their Puerto Rican identity. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 104-110) and index.
