Sandra Cisneros feels like she’s finally replied to a long overdue letter with her new book, “Martita, I Remember You.”.

SAN ANTONIO – March is Women’s History Month and some heroic women are being honored in a new book called “Revolutionary Women of Texas and Mexico.”The book was the idea of local artist Kathy Sosa. She learned that many women made that journey alone and later would influence an entire culture in Texas. “We had stepped into a void in history that needed to be exposed.”With the help of Ellen Riojas Clark, Jennifer Speed and her husband Lionel Sosa the book began to evolve. It ends up be a collection of 18 essays written by authors, journalists and scholars. “That was a huge highlight that day she said she would like to contribute to the book,” Sosa said.

Her scathing review of “American Dirt,” in which she accuses Cummins of appropriating works by Latinos, went viral. “American Dirt,” published last week, tells the story of a Mexican woman and her 8-year-old son fleeing to the U.S. border after a drug cartel kills the rest of their family. Some Latino celebrities posted selfies with the book; Mexican-born actress Salma Hayek later apologized for promoting “American Dirt” without having read it after she was attacked on social media. Latino critics say ``American Dirt'' contains stereotypes, incorrect regional slang, and cultural inaccuracies. Tony Diaz, a Mexican American novelist in Houston, had promised to organize a protest outside.
