Abstract
Attempting to articulate an individual perspective on NWSA (National Women's Studies Association), this personal narrative on experiencing NWSA as a Latina lesbian of color presents an insider's view of much of the work NWSA has done in the past fifteen years. It also engages in a few of its controversies. The narrative includes the experiences of a graduate student working with the founding of the organization's journal, a member of the organization's final steering committee before its shift to the new constitution approved in 1992, and a consistent member of the officers of the organization. A part of this essay also investigates how NWSA consistently struggles with its own sense of identity, which makes it vulnerable to critics of its failure, to meet the endless demands of its membership but also makes it a very interesting intellectual space in which to participate.
