Combining the artistry of photographer Delilah Montoya with an informative introduction written by professor and librarian María Teresa Márquez, Women Boxers: The New Warriors explores the world of las malcriadas, those women who challenge societys views of femininity, violence, and physicality.
Montoyas photographs profile twelve powerful, devoted athletes who are taking advantage of the Womens Movement and the right to live, work, and box in a mans world. The boxers featured are from all over the United States, and include super bantamweight Jackie Chávez, holder of the IFBA Super Bantamweight Title, light middleweight Akondaye Storm Fountain, welterweight Christy Coalminers Daughter Martin, and lightweight Mia The Knockout St. John, holder of the IBA Womens Lightweight Title and the IFBA Lightweight World Title.
