The Chicana feminist foremothers, Gloria Anzaldua, Cherrie Moraga, and Ana Castillo return to the body of mutilated Chicana with wounds, pain, and disability, leading to a spiritual journey of healing by presenting it as a Mesoamerican Goddess. Anzaldua, suffering from a severe hormone imbalance and diabetes, illustrates the goddess role as she describes the process of self-healing, seven stages of Conocimiento, in unity with the snake goddess Coatlicue, who was lifted from a wave of pain. Moraga portrays a restorative journey as a spiritual activist by describing the Coyolxauhqui imperative, a process of healing and integration through a sense of unity with Coyolxauhqui who was the Moon goddess defeated un a family war by the god of the sun and a disabled protagonist. Castillo portrays the rites of passage to become a curandera of a community, depicting a community of wounds based on the ethics of feminine care. This cultivates a new myth about injury and healing through the main character, the symbol of the Earth Goddess. The three writers adopt a strategy to bring the aesthetics of Native American myths to the foreground of their work as a source of healing for the reality of suffering and as a symbol of resistance to colonization. Their literature is a tribute to the sad, beautiful goddesses born in their colonial homeland whose wounds and pain remain.
