My husband gave me this book for Christmas and I read it with excitement, hope and a renewed feeling of joy for my Latina heritage.

Dr. Nogales looks into the traits we ALREADY possess, our strengths passed down to us from our grandmothers and mothers and shows us how they are useful survival skills. She gives wonderful examples of real world women who've used these innate skills to reach success in all walks of life.

What I particularly admire about Dr. Nogales' writing is that it is not elitist- it draws upon women's wisdom and shows the timeless wisdom we've all had access to from our female role models.

Whether you're rich or poor, educated or not, this book can reach you. It touched me and I recommend it to other women, Latinas or not.

I will use this book as a reference for my clients.

I got this book as gift of my now gringo husband...I really loved it. It is so very easy to read and understand and really untill you are reading most of these stories will sound so familiar if you are a latina women.. I just loved it.. and encoraged me to ahead hard for my goals.
Este libro es realmente alentador...

The question of why we as Latinas do the things that we do in our very own unique way may be answered in this enlightening book. When I was growing up and I would question the "rules of the house", my abuelita always had the same answer for me "that is the way it always has been done" she used to tell me "and you are not going to change things...a si que, aguantate". Written by Ana Nogales, Ph.D. with Laura Golden Bellotti, Latina Power is not your typical self-help book; it is a book that encourages self-awareness. Latina Power expands on the cultural traits Latinas have naturally inherited from our varied indigenous cultures. The book also shows Latinas how they can use these traits to enrich their everyday lives.---Inspired, in California

An empowering and wise guide based on the refreshing idea that the qualities necessary for achievement are inherent in Latino culture.
