Life
Graciela Limón was born in East Los Angeles where her parents settled after immigration from Mexico. She always dreamed of becoming a novelist from an early age but that dream slowly started to fade once she reached college. She graduated from Marymount College (now Loyola Marymount University), Fundación Universidad de las Américas, Puebla with a master's degree, and from University of California Los Angeles with a PhD[4] in Spanish American Literature.
She is a professor emeritus of Loyola Marymount University, where she taught U.S. and Hispanic literature and also served as chair of the Department of Chicano and Chicana Studies. She attempted to publish a collection of her essays, but every editor she went to rejected them. This caused her to spend some time in depression.Шаблон:Citation needed
She is currently a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara and University of California, Los Angeles. She teaches courses in Latina/Chicana narratives, border narratives, and contemporary Latin American literature.[5]
Limón has been an activist in Chicano work as well as in the areas of gender and women's affairs. Sheimón has published nine novels, all of which deal with a Latina and trans-border experience.
