In a recent article, Cofer contends that many Latina women still suffer from prejudice and stereotype. Cofer writes:

There are thousands of Latinas without the privilege of an education or the entrees into society that I have. For them life is a constant struggle against the misconceptions of perpetuated by the myth of the Latina.  . . . Every time I give a reading, I hope the stories I tell, the dreams and fears I examine in my work, can achieve some universal truth that will get my audience past the particulars of my skin color, my accent , or my clothes (236).
