Organization, which fought for economic improvements for Hispanics. 'The CSO battled segregation and police brutality, led voter registration drives, pushed for improved public services and fought to enact new legislation.'" Huerta started on a small local level with her activist efforts but by the 1960s she had created the Agriculture Worker Association. "It was through her work at these organizations that Dolores met fellow activist and labor leader Cesar Chavez." After this, she and Chávez co-founded the UFW and soon garnered national attention to their fight for labor rights. Huerta was instrumental in the execution of the United Farm Workers' plans and often acted as the organizations head negotiator. She traveled the country giving speeches at colleges and in Chicano communities and served as a major role model for Chicanas all over the country. Her prominence in the movement helped inspire a new generation of women that were suffocating from oppression and had not realized their problems were wide spread. Huerta was one of the first notable Chicana activists and she became a symbol to Mexican-American women across the U.S. Mirta Vidal Mirta Vidal was a born in Argentina and migrated to the U.S. in her youth. She resided in New York City where she was a member of the Socialist Workers Party. She was in solidarity with the Chicano Movement and wrote different critiques. She was an intersectionalist and is best remembered for her critiques of the Chicano movement and of the Anglo feminist movement. The position, needs, and goals of Chicanas were relatively ignored even though the roots of the Chicano and Chicana movements were identical. In her article "Women: New Voice of La Raza", she chastises the use of machismo at home and in the Chicano monavement, likening machismo to the English term "male chauvinism." She argues the efforts of Chicana women are undermined and diluted. She draws attention to the fact that Chicanas experience oppression on multiple levels, as women, as Chicanas, and as lower-class workers. Vidal speaks to the exclusion of Chicanas from mainstream feminism and the Chicano movement. Feeling left out of the mainstream feminist movement because of their ties to the Chicano movement, and discouraged by Chicanos from participating in Women's Liberation because it was an "Anglo thing," Chicanas came together to confront their individual struggle. Vidal says that for Chicana women, it is necessary to be active within the Women's Liberation movement
