Woman Hollering Creek

    In the stories in part three ("There Was a Man, There Was a Woman") in Woman Hollering Creek, how does Cisneros reveal a divide between the Chicano and the Chicana experience? How are women in a double bind; oppressed by the American culture and also by their own Chicano culture? How do the women in this section cope, triumph, evade the double bind? Are any of them unable to escape? If so, why?
