Huerta Speaking to a Group of Women at an Unknown Location

Huerta challenged the paradigm of women putting family responsibilities first and inspired women to become involved in the labor movement. She voiced her concerns and demanded that issues around sexism, child care, and sexual harassment needed to be taken seriously. This earned her the respect of Chicanas and renowned feminists such as Gloria Steinem.
