The Woman in the Zoot Suit
''The Woman in the Zoot Suit: Gender, Nationalism, and the Cultural Politics of Memory'' is a book by Catherine S. Ramírez. It digs into the participation of Mexican American women in the zoot suit culture of the 1940s. Ramirez aims to reinterpret the past. Ramirez pulls from a large selection of cultural artifacts as well as primary and secondary data, this data describes the experiences of Pachucas, women zoot suiters from the 1940s and 1950s, and it reconstructs the historical and iconic figures in Mexican American history. Women were barely acknowledged in later rejected Pachucas' presence in the 1940s because they threatened gender equality.
==Chapter 1: Domesticating the Pachuca==
Chapter one tries to reinsert women into narratives of Mexican American cultural identity, community, and history.〔Ramirez 27〕 This chapter talks about the Sleepy Lagoon incident, which put Mexican American Zoot Suiters into the spotlight. In the Sleepy Lagoon incident, there was a man was murdered in August 1943 in a brawl. Twenty-two young men who were of Mexican descent were convicted for the brawl. Though the Sleepy Lagoon consisted of all men, women were bystanders. Girls were the one to find the dead man. There were several other girls and women that were involved in the case but are not noted in history. Many girls were sent to the Ventura School for Girls, a youth authority correctional facility known for having cruel disciplinary measures.〔Ramirez 29〕 After about six months the girls were released, though they stayed wards of the state until they turned twenty-one.〔Escobedo 138〕 They were punished for hanging out with people who cause trouble in the neighborhoods.
