A wonderful surprise

I stumbled upon this book while working in a library, and happened to read the first paragraph. After that I took it home and couldn't stop reading. Naked Ladies is a very good book. It's an interesting story chronicling the journey of the main character, Alta, in her struggle for self empowerment; as well as a study in the intersections between race, gender, and sexuality. I would especially recommend it for anyone interested in women's studies or Chicana literature.
