This program looks at the differences between the U.S. Latina and her Latin American counterparts. It also examines how Latino men regard successful, professional Latina women, and the myths and mystique of machismo among Latinos in the age of two-income families and shared child-rearing responsibility. Finally, the program profiles a Latina feminist, who has shown that activism is not just a Latino male’s prerogative. (26 minutes)
