THROUGH THE EYES OF REBEL WOMEN The Young Lords, 1969-1976 is the first book about the experiences of the women members — a "story within a story" told from the inside out. The Young Lords Organization emerged in New York in the late sixties to fight poverty, racial and gender inequality, and the colonial status of Puerto Rico. Women in the Young Lords organized to build a people's movement and fought the “revolution within the revolution” believing that women’s equality was inseparable from the society’s progress as a whole.
Written and edited by Iris Morales, THROUGH THE EYES OF REBEL WOMEN consists of essays, interviews, and primary source documents. Morales chronicles the revolutionary rise of the Young Lords, the contributions of women, and the group’s decline.
Personal interviews with former women members conducted for the film ¡Palante, Siempre Palante! The Young Lords have been edited for the book. Photographs and articles written from 1969 through 1973 complete the volume. The entire narrative affirms that social movements do not develop in a vacuum but arise to spearhead solutions to the injustices occurring in society.
Dr. Edna Acosta-Belén, distinguished historian and women’s studies scholar, writes “These women activists are ... the brave feminist warriors who battled for equality in intersecting (not isolated or separated) arenas of class, race, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality; part of that noble league of defenders of universal human rights.”
Ericka Huggins, human rights activist, former Black Panther Party member, and political prisoner, summarizes “As I read this book, I was continually inspired by the history of the Young Lords and the great women within it. Iris Morales writes a story that parallels the story of the women in the Black Panther Party and women throughout the globe. The structural and interpersonal work we must do to uplift humanity always starts from the inside out!”
Through the Eyes of Rebel Women is a must-read for everyone interested in the Puerto Rican and people's movements of the 1960s and 70s in the United States.

Through the Eyes of Rebel Women The Young Lords 19691976 eBook Iris Morales Reviews
it is important when the story is told about a people, it is told by someone who was there This book is a
amazing account of a period in US history and is more important now then ever. The details are both readable and clear.. Ms. Morales gives the reader insight into the day to day work of the group, She does not gloss over the struggle including the pitfalls and success.Anyone who want to better understand what this group did and stood for ,should read this book
The fact that a women of color is telling this history about progressive women is so important.
As a poet, a mom and activist, I find this book to be a treasure chest of clarity and insight into how women navigate social movements often plagued with mansplaining, slow awakenings and increased awareness of the struggles of those most oppressed. In times of Trump and a return to hyper-patriarchal ideals of social life, this book is a guide and an important addition to organizers and especially women and mothers who are working at creating a sanctuary space and upholding feminist values that are under threat of extinction.
As radio host of The Jordan Journal and Chair of the Behavioral & Social Sciences Department at Hostos Community college I have dedicated a near lifetime of participating and analyzing the literature on social movements that have transformed communities of color. “Through the Eyes of Rebel Women The Young Lords 1969-1976” by Iris Morales is a thorough well-reasoned retrospective on the history of Young Lords a radical group which has attained iconic status among Latina activists. As a leader of the group Morales, in a well-written examination of this group, gives us an insider’s view of these young idealists as they navigate through the challenges of American racism and sexism, struggle for the liberation of the Puerto Rican people, and in the process are themselves transformed. This book is the first book describing the experiences of the group’s women members “an untold herstory” are particular relevant given legatees of the movement in the Million Women’s March, Black Lives Matter, 35 Mujeres (Women) for Oscar, and more. As if this were not enough the author provides us with historical documents of the period as we witness these founding documents and language like “revolutionary machismo” change as the group’s male members confront their sexism. I have incorporated the book in our Department’s suggested readings and the book should be required readings for educators, historians, young people, and those seeking to understand how a little resourced generation of Puerto Rican women transformed a community and liberated the thinking of a people.

amazing! Iris is such a powerful woman and I learned a lot about organizing and the legacy of the Young Lords through this book. Highly recommended.
One of the most interesting boss I've ever read. It makes me prouder to be Puerto Rican! Read it now!
I absolutely loved this book! I learned so much about the Young Lords, and the amazing women who were a part of it. Definitely worth the money.
As a historian of women and social movements in America, I find this book an extraordinary addition to the field. More importantly, as an activist, Morales's book is an inspirational field guide for the current generation as they (unfortunately) fight many of the same battles again in this era. Social movement is too often depicted as a history of a few extraordinary people. Morales makes it clear that social movement is the work of everyone. I recommend this book to everyone who is engaging in our new struggle for civil rights in America.
