Chapter 15 discussed feminism in connection with the Latina/o ethnic group. This discussion pointed out that
a. this is the most conservative of all ethnic groups, so it's no surprise that feminism was not an issue for Latinas/os until the most recent decade.
b. people from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic have perspectives that are quite similar to people from other Latina/o backgrounds.
c. in the western United States, Chicana women began to organize feminist conferences in the early 1970s.
d. Latina activists often comment that they feel very much included in mainstream feminism.

b. researchers do not conduct enough studies that compare women of color to European American women.
c. researchers seldom select a research area in which women of color might be expected to be especially competent.
d. researchers have conducted numerous studies on women who are economically disadvantaged, but they have not conducted enough research on women of color.
