Early Life

Anna NietoGómez was born in San Bernardino, California on March 30th, 1946, the eldest of three. NietoGómez is a third-generation Chicana on her mother's side while also having roots in New Mexico back to the 1600s on her father's side of the family. Her mother, a high school graduate, began working for the Santa Fe Railroad at the age of eighteen in 1944. NietoGómez learned the value of independence from her father, a man who grew up witnessing his single mother struggle to raise him.^[1] Her father, a World War II veteran,^[2] taught NietoGómez how to cook and sew since he believed a women should be able to survive on their own.^[1]

From an early age, NietoGómez was very aware of the discrimination, both from racism and sexism, that existed in her segregated community. Much of this early exposure stemmed from her own family. For example, NietoGómez disliked how her grandfather treated her grandmother; she went on a meal strike in order to negotiate a behavior change from him. According to NietoGómez, "my grandma would not eat at that table until everyone was finished-like a servant, like she wasn't family-so that didn't seem right since neither my father nor my other grandfather treated their wives this way."^[1]

While at Cal-State Northridge, NietoGómez created the curriculum for critical Chicana courses on the topics of family, global identity, history, and contemporary issues.^[1]

NietoGómez's tenure battle and professorship in general demonstrate not only the power dynamics and pitfalls in white male-dominated institutions, but also within the Chicano movement of the time.^[1]
