Description:

Dolores Huerta, a co-founder with Cesar Chavez of the United Farm Workers, has had an extraordinarily successful and courageous career fighting for economic and social justice, as this commentary notes. She's been at it for more than a half-century, as a leading Latina, feminist, labor and anti-war activist and roler model for women everywhere. She's traveled the country to speak out and demonstrate in support of a wide variety of causes. She's lobbied to win important legislative gains for Latino immigrants and others, and done so much more that merits special attention during Women's History Month.
