The term "chicana" is a word that an American women or girl coming from Mexican origin or descent.

Many writers like Adalijiza Sosa Riddell wrote about the experiences they had to go through as well as the issues of the gender and sexuality which came with the reclamation of the historical and cultural figures. According to Chicanas and El Movimiento "Many Chicanas find the Women's Liberation movement largely irrelevant because more often than not it is a move for strictly women'a rights". Chicana writing came from the feminism for the portrayal of the gender issues.

With the gender issues becoming a huge part of the Chicana Movement but mainly a huge part in the literature like the Virgen de Guadalupe, she became a symbol for identify and culture for the chicana community and in south California it was the symbol for "controlling, interpreting, or visualizing women" according to Norma Alarcon.

La Virgen de Guadalupe is the saint that is used in the Catholic Church.
